Organic Japan Pu Erh Tea

This Award-Winning Organic Tea Is Japan’S Version Of The Famous Fermented Tea From China. Pu-Erh (Also Spelled Pu’Er Or Pu’Erh), A City Located In The Yunnan Province Of China, Is The Namesake Of Pu-Erh Tea, The Most Famous Subset Of Chinese Heicha (Dark Tea). While Not From Pu-Erh, This Organic Japan Pu-Erh Tea Boasts One Of The Most Innovative Tea Production Techniques On The Market, Borrowing Manufacturing Methods From Both Pu-Erh Production And Japanese Sake Brewing. It Begins With Unoxidized Green Tea That Is Fermented Using Traditional Sake Kuro-Koji Bacteria. After Four Days Of Fermentation, The Dried Tea Leaves Turn Dark Brown And Take On An Aroma Of Toasted Bread, Dried Fruit, And Dark Chocolate.

This One-Of-A-Kind Loose Leaf Tea Makes A Brew That Reminds Us Of A Toasty Japanese Hojicha Mixed With A Medium Bodied Chinese Pu-Erh, Offering Little Astringency And A Lighter Version Of The Musty Aroma Traditionally Associated With Pu-Erh Tea. The Smooth, Dry Cup Has Prominent Notes Of Toasted Grains, Backed With Stone Fruit And Baked Apple. It Is As Delicious, As It Is Unique!

Ps – Though This Organic Tea Is Made Using A Sake-Style Fermentation, It Does Not Contain Alcohol.

Steeping Instructions

At Arbor Teas, We Believe Tea Should Be Brewed To Suit Your Personal Taste. We’Re Happy To Make Recommendations To Get You Started, But Don’T Hesitate To Experiment! When Brewing Your Tea, Your Main Considerations Are Tea Quantity, Water Temperature, And Steeping Time. We Recommend Pu-Erh Teas To Be Steeped For 5 To 10 Minutes In Water Heated To A Full, Rolling Boil. For The Best Flavor, Use Fresh Water Whenever Possible, And Avoid Overboiling. Try Not To Steep Your Tea Longer Than Necessary, As You’Ll Extract Undesirable Bitterness From The Leaves.If You Want A Stronger Brew, Don’T Steep Longer, Just Use More Tea. And Don’T Forget To Re-Steep Your Tea Leaves To Get The Most Out Of Your Leaf!
