Menghai 2003 Yunnan Pu'er

20 pieces

The Menghai region is in southernmost Yunnan province and has a very rich tea growing and processing culture, where tea plants are believed to have originated. This ripe (Shou) Pu’er was fermented with great care to preserve the character and maximize the benefits of the tea. With a velvety smooth delivery and a woody, nutty flavor this aged tea is a grounding classic. These small bricks were produced by the Menghai Tea Factory in 2003.

Considered nourishing to Yin but offering balanced energy enhancement, Pu’er tea has a long and intimate history of use within TCM for digestive support, the promotion of
detoxification, and the nourishment of gut health. This fermented tea is rich in
antioxidants that support cellular health, polyphenols that have a cleansing effect on the blood, and incredibly diverse bacteria that bring balance to the gut microbiome.

Brewing instructions: These small bricks are a convenient way to enjoy an individual serving. Add 1 brick for approximately 8 oz of hot water (185- 195°F is ideal) and steep for 1-5 minutes per your flavor preferences. You can rebrew these leaves for about 5 steeps (though it’s best to remove from water in between steeps).
