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.
