A warming, grounding Yunnan Pu’er tea to savor daily, with aromatic notes of cocoa, mushroom and coffee

Crafted from polyphenol-dense assamica tea leaves that are traditionally fermented and then rested for a bold, approachable flavor, this organic Pu’er is remarkably smooth and rich, with a warming, woodsy character that grounds the senses. Many liken its distinctive aroma to petrichor—the smell of earth after a fresh rainfall.

In southern China, fermented Pu’er is customarily served alongside oily foods such as dim sum to support digestion. Ours hails from remote Dai, Lahu and Wa ethnic mountain villages in southern Yunnan Province, where heirloom broadleaf tea varietals express an unmatched complexity developed through centuries of seed propagation. We recommend enjoying this everyday tea with or after a meal. It also makes a satisfying stand-in for your morning cup of coffee.

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this loose leaf tea has a rich, earthy flavor with smooth, full-bodied taste. Many appreciate its coffee-like appearance and energy without jitters, making it an excellent afternoon coffee replacement. The tea steeps multiple times and offers gentle caffeine release. However, reviews are divided on aroma - while some enjoy the earthy fragrance, others find it overwhelmingly fishy or seaweed-like. Common feedback includes descriptions of mineral, leather, and slight chocolate notes. Some find it bitter when over-steeped, while others praise its mellow character. Many long-term customers consider it their daily tea, enjoying both hot and iced preparations.

    Has become a staple

    Tried this once because of the hype about its statin-like properties. Instantly became a must-have in the kitchen item. Refilled the order five times now. Can count on consistency in quality of product, in speed of delivery, and everything else that matters.

    Very good

    I have been worried about drinking black tea since I learned about how many heavy metals can be contaminated in it. I wrote this company and got a very good response (unlike other companies) and this is very dark and tastes exactly how you want it to and I don't have to worry so much about all the nasty things that could be in it. Very happy

    Hard to find!

    This is a wonderful fermented tea that may spoil you for any other non herbal teas. Rich complex flavor that I prefer over coffee most days because it’s so much smoother.
