Imperial Pu-Erh Red Tea

Características

Red tea and Pu-erh tea are two different types of tea. Although both are fermented teas, Pu-erh tea is a specific type of red tea produced in Yunnan Province, China and hand-picked from a specific variety (Assamic Camellia).

The imperial myth of longevity

Its super antioxidant properties, and its delicate aroma and flavor, give this tea the “premium” product category, as if it were “the truffle of teas.” Red tea, on the other hand, is a general term that refers to any tea that has been fermented and oxidized.

Does red tea = longevity? This is what the Qianlong emperors of the Qing dynasty of China and Wilhelm I of Germany believed.

Pu-erh tea undergoes a fermentation process that can last several years, giving it an earthy and smooth flavor. On the other hand, red tea (which still has high antioxidant properties) is completely oxidized and has a stronger, more bitter flavor.
