🌿 EU Organic 🍂 Single-Origin · Fermented 🇨🇳 From Yunnan, China

Single-origin organic Pu Erh tea from Yunnan — one of the oldest and most fascinating tea specialties of China. Traditionally fermented, with an earthy, full-bodied aroma and a deep, woody character. A tea with history, for lovers of extraordinary flavour profiles.

Our organic China Pu Erh tea comes from the southern Chinese province of Yunnan — the traditional home region of this special tea variety. Pu Erh belongs to the post-fermented teas — a classification that clearly sets it apart from black, green or white tea. Through controlled fermentation, it develops its characteristic earthy, woody character, making it one of the most unique tea experiences there is. In China and Tibet, Pu Erh has been enjoyed and cultivated for over a thousand years.

FLAVOUR & CHARACTER

Earthy, full-bodied, deeply woody

This special tea impresses with a unique, tradition-rich flavour profile:
  • Aroma: earthy, woody, full-bodied — with subtle mushroomy, mineral accents
  • Cup colour: deep red-amber to almost black, rich and brilliant
  • Taste: powerful, full-bodied, softly earthy — with a long, harmonious finish
  • Character: unique, traditional & meditative — a tea for special moments and lovers of extraordinary flavours

THE INGREDIENT

Pu Erh pure — single-origin and fermented

This variety consists of 100% a single organic ingredient — no blends, no added flavourings:
  • Pu Erh tea (Yunnan): single-origin tea leaves from Yunnan, traditionally fermented, from certified organic farming
What is Pu Erh? Pu Erh (普洱, pronounced "Pu-Er") is a post-fermented tea specialty from Yunnan, China. Unlike black or green tea, Pu Erh undergoes a controlled microbial fermentation that gives it its characteristic earthy, woody aroma. The name derives from the town of Pu'er in Yunnan, where the tea was historically traded. Pu Erh can be stored and matured for years, even decades — like a fine wine.

BREWING

How to brew the perfect cup — traditionally, multiple times

Pu Erh handles hot water very well, letting it unfold its full earthy depth. In Asia, Pu Erh is traditionally infused several times — each infusion reveals new facets:

📌 Classic preparation

  1. Water temperature: 95–100 °C (freshly boiled)
  2. Dosage: 1 heaped tsp per 250 ml (~2 g)
  3. Steeping time: 3–5 minutes
  4. Enjoy: traditionally plain — the earthy character speaks for itself

🍵 Tip: Traditional "wash" + multiple infusions

  1. Wash (optional, traditional): briefly pour hot water over the tea (10 sec.) and pour it off — this step activates the leaves
  2. Then pour fresh water and let it steep for 3–5 min.
  3. Multiple infusions: the leaves can be infused several times — extend the steeping time slightly from the 2nd infusion onward
  4. Each infusion reveals new facets of flavour — a meditative tea ritual

ORGANIC QUALITY & ORIGIN

From Yunnan to your cup

  • 100% EU Organic certified — from certified organic farming (DE-ÖKO-039)
  • Origin: Yunnan province, China — the historic home region of Pu Erh
  • Processing: traditional post-fermentation
  • Packed in Germany — short supply chains, transparent processing
  • No additives — no flavourings, colourants or preservatives
  • Gently processed — protecting the aroma is our priority

STORAGE

Storage & shelf life

  • Airtight sealed: a tea tin made of metal or dark glass — or alternatively in breathable packaging (typical for Pu Erh maturation)
  • Protected from light & dry: not in the refrigerator (condensation!)
  • Separate from more intense teas: the powerful, earthy note can transfer to other varieties
  • Shelf life: Pu Erh is especially long-lasting — single-origin Pu Erh can be stored for years and may even gain aroma over time (similar to wine)

    Sehr authentischer Geschmack – genau wie der Pu-Erh, den ich aus China kenne. Erdiger, voller Charakter und wunderbar beruhigend.
