Description

Shu Puerh Tea

Shu Puerh is the fermented version of raw Puerh tea. The fermentation process is used to smooth out the rough edges of younger raw Puerh and create a new tea with different character. The resulting tea is darker, smoother and has an entirely different flavor profile from raw Puerh.
