About Pu Erh
Pu Erh is a highland region in southwestern China, where tea has been cultivated for over 1,700 years. Traditionally, Pu Erh tea is made from the leaves of the Qingmao tree, a plant that can grow up to 30 metres tall and live for over 800 years. The long history and unique origins of this tea are just some of the reasons why Pu Erh tea is so highly valued. Its special ageing and preparation processes make it a prized treasure among tea lovers. Like fine cheese or wine, Pu Erh tea matures over many years. Some of the most treasured varieties are aged for over 70 years. The aging process, based on fermentation, typically lasts between five and ten years—and even after that, it continues to develop, adding to the distinctiveness of Pu Erh tea.
Cultivation
The most famous cultivation area for Pu Erh tea is the Six Famous Tea Mountains in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

The mountains, all located northeast of the Lancang River (Mekong), are renowned for their extraordinary flavour profiles. The most notable mountains include: Gedeng, Yiwu, Mangzhi, Manzhuan, Yibang, and Y?ulè.
