Numis Emperors Pu-erh is picked from wild-harvested, organic tea trees that are 500 years old, deeply rooted in Chinas majestic Yunnan Mountains. Hand-picked broad leaves are fermented into black tea then ripened, resulting in an earthy aroma and dark sienna hue. Pu-erh boasts a bold body, smooth and slightly sweet with hints of malt. This rich, energizing tea is deeply satisfying as a coffee alternative. Numi is proud to reveal the centuries old tradition of Pu-erh. Pu-erh is an ancient healing tea known for its medicinal properties and rich taste. Numis Organic Pu-erh comes from 500-year-old, wild, organic tea trees grown in Chinas pristine Yunnan Mountains. The maturity of these trees yields a superior tasting tea compared to younger pruned bushes. Unlike traditional teas that are oxidized over an 8 hour period, Pu-erh undergoes a unique 60-day fermentation process resulting in a bold, earthy flavor with hints of malt and more antioxidants than green tea. Pu-erh can be compressed into bricks and aged, like fine wine, for months, years or even decades. This increases its value, health benefits and premium taste. Pu-erhs ancient history began over 2,000 years ago when tea was transported by horse caravans along 5 main routes known as the Tea Horse Roads. The most traveled road began in the village of Pu Erh. Merchants compressed the tea to maximize their load when traveling across China & found the tea tasted better at journeys end and yielded additional health benefits. It is said that the Last Emperors mother cured her gout by drinking Pu-erh. Like fine wine that undergoes a fermentation process, Pu-erhs processing acts on nutrients already existing in tea. Pu-erh tea is purported in Chinese culture to aid digestion & rejuvenate life energy.
