Puerh is an aged tea from China that is fermented and matured to develop a unique mellow, slightly wet earthy character. The finest puerhs are aged for up to 50 years and become more mellow and soft over time. In China, this category of tea is considered to be a medicinal beverage that helps metabolize fats. It is ideal for digestion and is said to help prevent hangovers.
