About Ripe Pu Erh Pearls Tin

Beautifully dark hand-rolled Ripe Pu Erh Pearls from Menghai in South Yunnan that produce a deep, rich brown infusion. With each steeping, this ripe Pu Erh tea reveals delicate notes of sticky plums, nutmeg spice, and a subtle hint of bark. The flavour is soothing and earthy, growing sweeter with each infusion. This tea has been aged for over a decade, developing remarkable depth over time. Each of the tightly rolled Ripe Pu Erh pearls is individually wrapped in paper and therefore easy to take with you. Pressed in 2010 and packed into elegant black tea tins, the tea is protected from air, light, moisture and odour, meaning perfect flavour with every cup. This format also makes a thoughtful and stylish gift. 

 

About Pu Erh

Pu Erh tea is one of the most precious and ancient tea varieties in the world, cherished by tea connoisseurs. Traditionally, Pu Erh tea is made from the leaves of the Qingmao tree, a tea plant that can grow up to 30 metres tall and live for over 800 years. Its long history and unique origins are just some of the reasons why Pu Erh tea is so highly valued. Its special ageing and preparation processes make it a treasured rarity among tea enthusiasts. Like fine cheese or wine, Pu Erh tea matures over many years. The ageing 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. Some of the most prized varieties are aged for over 70 years, continuously increasing in complexity.

 

Cultivation

This Pu Erh was cultivated at an altitude of 1,200 metres above sea level and harvested from centuries-old trees. Pu Erh is a highland region in southwestern China, where tea has been grown for over 1,700 years. The most famous cultivation area for Pu Erh tea is the Six Famous Tea Mountains, a mountain range in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. The region's climate and soil provide ideal conditions for growing Pu Erh tea, resulting in unique flavour profiles, similar to the terroir of fine wine. These mountains, all located northeast of the Lancang River (Mekong) and in close proximity to each other, include the following names in standard Chinese pronunciation: Gedeng, Yiwu, Mangzhi, Manzhuan, Yibang, and Y?ulè.

 

Effects

Pu Erh tea is credited with a variety of positive health effects. It can help lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood pressure, and has a mild appetite-suppressing effect. In China, it is often valued as an aid for weight management. Its digestive benefits make it ideal after heavy meals, and its antioxidant properties contribute to the body's detoxification process.

 

How to Enjoy

This ripe Pu Erh tea reveals its full flavour when sipped slowly. Ideal for late afternoon or evening, it pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate, mature cheeses such as Brie, or roasted nuts. Enjoy the tea in small sips and re-steep multiple times to fully appreciate the unfolding flavours.
