Raw Pu-erh Tea

Originating in Yunnan, Raw Pu-erh Tea (sheng Pu'er) is a classic example of naturally aged Chinese tea, renowned for the saying, "the older, the better." It comes in various forms, including tea cakes, dragon pearls, loose leaf, and tuocha.

When stored properly in a clean, dry environment, raw Pu-erh undergoes a slow aging process, gradually transforming into a tea with a smoother, richer taste and more complex aroma. This transformation is the inspiration behind the cherished tea adage: "Store new tea, drink aged tea."

Our Raw Pu-erh Tea collection is carefully curated from premium teas accumulated over the years through our physical teahouses under the Chinese Tea Group. Each year, our professional tea sommeliers conduct seasonal tastings of aged raw Pu-erh tea cakes to ensure proper storage and monitor their development. Some teas may experience an awkward flavor phase during aging, and we only offer them once their taste has matured into a refined and balanced profile.

Whether you are continuing to age it or enjoying it now, Raw Pu-erh Tea (sheng Pu'er) is a premium Chinese tea truly worth acquiring.
