The Art of Pu Erh Production

The complex process behind every Pu Erh tea

Pu-Erh tea is processed after the spring harvest, with the tea leaves wilting and drying in the sun to preserve the natural fermentation. After drying, the leaves are gently steamed and pressed, giving them their characteristic shape. Depending on the type of pressing, the tea develops more slowly or more quickly, which affects the aromas. High-quality Pu-Erh matures over years and becomes more complex and sweeter over time.
