In the Far East, a type of fermented tea known as “black tea” is highly revered, particularly in the Yunnan region where it originated. Specifically, this variety is called Pu’er tea, named after the market town of Pu’er City where it was first cultivated. Pu’er tea is made from the broad-leaf variety of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis var. assamica, which thrives in the ancient trees that are estimated to be between 500 and 1000 years old. These trees are typically grown in the Southwest region of Yunnan, China, often referred to as the birthplace of tea. For over 1200 years, the local communities have cultivated “tea gardens” in high mountain areas, harmoniously coexisting with native plants and ecology. While tea leaves can be harvested year-round, the optimal time is in mid-spring. The complex flavor profile of Pu’er tea can vary greatly depending on environmental factors, resulting in a rich and bold taste experience that can range from smooth and fruity to peaty and grassy, with notes of musk and earthy undertones.
