Raw Pu'er tea, also known as Sheng Pu'er, is a type of fermented tea originating from the Yunnan province of China.

Flavours Evolving Timelessly
The origins of Pu'er tea can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), where it was primarily consumed by the local ethnic groups in Yunnan. It gained prominence during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) when it became a popular trade item along the ancient Tea Horse Road, facilitating exchanges between Yunnan and Tibet, as well as other regions.

Raw Pu'er tea is characterized by its fresh, green flavor profile and is known for its ability to age and develop complex flavors over time. The tea is typically pressed into cakes or bricks, which helps in the aging process and allowing it to develop deeper flavors and aromas.

As the years pass, Raw Pu'er can transform significantly, often becoming smoother and more nuanced, making it a sought-after choice among tea enthusiasts and collectors. The appreciation for Raw Pu'er has grown globally, with many people recognizing its unique qualities and health benefits.
