Pu-erh tea, known as “black tea” in the Far East part of the world, originates from the Yunnan province of China and is named after the market town in which it was first developed.  

Pu-erh tea is post-fermented, which means that the tea leaves go through a microbial fermentation process after they have been dried and rolled, causing the leaves to darken and change in flavor. This process allows the teas to not only improve with age like a fine wine, but many pu-erhs are able to retain their freshness for up to fifty years!  

Most tea drinkers enjoy a ratio of three grams of tea leaves to about 200ml water. If you prefer a more potent brew, you can increase the amount of leaves to your liking. How much puerh tea to use depends on your preferences.  

Water should be hot, 100 degrees Celsius. Most tea drinkers also rinse their teacups in hot water to warm them. The puerh steeping time is quite short, about 15-30 seconds. While this short puerh steep time is in line with the traditional methods, many westerners prefer a stronger brew. Some people choose to allow the infusion to continue for five or more minutes.
