Limited Supply Summer Tea
Blender’s Notes Midsummer Dayz:
When we first introduced our Dark Tea or Puerh (pronounced POO-ar) to our customers…it took some time to become popular due to its unique taste, and dark and rich flavor…but now there isn’t a day where we don’t introduce it to someone, and they love it. The loose Dark Tea from Yunnan Province in China is aged by Microbial Fermentation. We sell the Ripe or Shou Puerh and it pairs well with many of our additions.
What is Puerh? It is made from the Camellia sinensis plant, the same source as green, oolong, and black teas. Unlike other teas, Puerh undergoes microbial fermentation and aging, giving it a deep, earthy taste and probiotic qualities – at times it is earthy, woody, sometimes sweet — often compared to aged wine or mushrooms. Traditionally sold as compressed “tea cakes” but also available as loose leaf.
The origins of Puerh tea date back to the Yunnan province of China, where it was initially produced as early as the Tang dynasty (618–907 AD). It gained popularity among traders and travelers along the ancient Tea Horse Road, a crucial trade route that connected Yunnan with Tibet, India, and beyond. Originally, Puerh was made from older tea trees, known for their wild characteristics. Over centuries, the fermentation process evolved, giving rise to two distinct types: Sheng (raw) and Shou (ripe) Puerh. The method of loose leaf production became prominent as tea enthusiasts began to appreciate the art of brewing using whole leaves, leading to variations in flavor and aroma. By the 20th century, loose Puerh tea garnered significant attention in the Chinese tea market, especially as interest in traditional teas grew. Its unique aging qualities and complex flavor profile helped establish it as a sought-after tea both domestically and internationally. Today, loose Puerh remains a beloved choice among tea aficionados, celebrated for its cultural significance and rich history.
Puerh loose tea consists of whole, uncompressed tea leaves, allowing for a wide variety of flavors and aromas based on the quality of the leaves and their processing methods. This format often requires precise measuring and specific brewing techniques, thus providing a more artisanal experience. The flavors can vary greatly, influenced by steeping time and temperature. Loose Puerh tea is renowned for its unique flavors, aromas, and texture. It offers a range of characteristics. The taste can vary widely, often described as earthy, rich, and sometimes sweet. The flavor can evolve with aging, becoming more complex over time. The aroma of loose Puerh is typically rich and robust, with notes that can include woodiness, herbal qualities, and hints of fermentation. The brewed tea can vary in color from deep amber to dark brown, depending on the type and age of the leaves used. Loose Puerh has a smooth mouthfeel, and the infusion usually maintains a velvety consistency, which is enhanced with multiple steeping. Unlike many other teas, loose Puerh can age very well, often improving in flavor and complexity over time when stored properly.
Why drink Puerh? Weight Loss ~ Puerh may reduce fat synthesis and increase fat burning. Cholesterol Support ~ Puerh may lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and increase bile acid excretion, reducing fat absorption. Gut Health ~ Fermentation introduces probiotics that support healthy gut flora, digestion, and blood sugar control. Cardiovascular Protection ~ Rich in antioxidants (gallic acid, catechins, flavonoids) that may reduce inflammation and protect blood vessels.
