What is Puer Tea?
Pu'er tea is a type of fermented tea traditionally produced in Yunnan Province, China. It comes in two main types:
Sheng (raw) Pu'er: This type is naturally fermented over time, often for many years, which allows the tea to develop complex flavors.
Shou (ripe) Pu'er: This type undergoes a more rapid, artificial fermentation process to mimic the aging of Sheng Pu'er.
 
Ripe Puer crafting techniques is delevoped in the 1970s in Yunnan, China. It is the only type of Chinese tea that go through a process called "fermentation" which accelerate the timeline to transform the chemical components of the tea naturally. Traditional raw puer tea takes time to tranform in order to give rise to a more matured and smooth flavour, as a result, ripe puer technique is developed. It utilizes heat and humidity to decompose the polyphenols within the tea, while natural micro-organisms work to decompose particles within the tea leaves, and then through piling, the effective bacterias get to work to achieve brand new recomposition of the particles to achieve a smoother and mellow taste as well as an enhanced set of health benefits.
