Ripe Pu-erh Tea

Ripe Pu-erh tea (Shou/Shu Pu-erh) from Yunnan, China, is available in two forms: compressed tea and loose-leaf tea. It is created from raw Pu-erh tea through an additional processing method known as wet-piling fermentation. Developed in 1975, this artificial fermentation technique was originally designed to replicate the flavor and aroma profile of aged raw Pu-erh tea in a shorter period of time.

The wet-piling process is highly intricate, with demanding procedures and strict requirements for quality control. Selecting high-quality ripe Pu-erh tea therefore requires deep professional knowledge and extensive hands-on experience—expertise we have honed through years of focused practice. In addition, to allow ripe Pu-erh to continue maturing and improving in the aging process, proper storage conditions and expert management are essential.

Today, ripe Pu-erh has become one of the most beloved types of Pu-erh tea among Hong Kong tea drinkers and enjoys growing popularity in overseas import markets as well. Our Yunnan Ripe (Shou/Shu) Pu-erh Tea collection is carefully curated by the Chinese Tea Group from years of physical teahouse operations and product selection. These teas have already earned wide recognition in our offline teahouses and are presented through authentic, real-location photography to reflect their true quality.

Whether you’re new to Pu-erh (Pu'er) or seeking the classic, authentic taste of ripe tea, this collection is well worth exploring and savoring.
