About Puerh Tea

Puerh tea is fermented, and like all true tea, contains caffeine. However, puerh typically has less caffeine than a black tea, because older tea leaves are selected for this highly nuanced tea.

Puerh comes from the class of tea called dark tea. Dark tea is produced all over China, while puerh is specific to the province of Yunnan. This tea type is probiotic and is well-known to aid digestion, reduce cholesterol, promote weight loss, and ease hangovers. It is also sometimes referred to as the Chinese slimming tea.
