Pu-erh Tuo or Puer Tuo Tea is a fermented tea, named after Pu'er county in Yunnan, China. It is
traditionally made with older leaves (not the first flush or budding leaves) from tall and old trees. These
trees are of a type only found in Yunnan Province, known as broad leaf tea. The leaves are covered with
fine hairs, are larger than other tea leaves, and have a different chemical composition. The leaves are then
left green or moderately fermented before being dried. The tea leaves have been pressed into a
hollowed-out bowl shape.
It is an unusual tea, because unlike other teas which are consumed shortly after production. It can be
stored over 50 years old and is usually aged at least 1-4 years. Over this time it acquires an earthy flavour
due to fermentation (not the oxidation used for oolong or black teas). This leads to Pu-erh having the
unique trait among tea varieties of not losing its qualities after a year or two and of being classified by
connoisseurs by year of production.
The Pu-erh Tuo tea has been subjected to a number of health studies. A number of medical studies have
substantiated claims that the tea helps reduce cholesterol levels and saturated fats in hunmans, and that
might also assist in weight loss.
