You drink tea to get away… and a Pu-Erh Beeng Cake can take you WAY away…

You can forget you’re stuck in a cubicle with your psychopathic boss, when you drink a cup of fine tea.

And when you REALLY want to get away– when you want to feel like you’re high up a mountain in a mist-cloaked monastery, and your boss is lost in the valley below– then you simply drink this aged Pu-Erh.

Because this pu-erh tea cake comes from an ancient tea forest, you’ll find intricate, intriguing flavors. Its naturally-growing leaves offer up a complex, soothing cup of tea.

Of course, not everyone appreciates it. Some people say it’s an acquired taste. Some people just don’t like it. And some people are stuck in the cubicle, drinking burnt coffee from a styrofoam cup.

Raw, or “sheng pu-erh,” has new flavors with every sip

Because this hand-picked pu-erh tea grows in wild in the mountains of Yunnan Province, it takes on a multitude of flavors.

• On the first sip, you may notice honeyed notes.
• On the second, the fruity taste of sheng pu-erh will come out.
• And by the end of the first cup, you may notice a hint of licorice.

Then steep the leaves for another infusion. When you go back to the cup, new flavors come out. It’s like having a dozen pots of tea in one cup.

Pu-Erh Teas Taste Like Home Sweet Home

That’s no exaggeration: pu-erh teas taste like their homes, the place they came from. Tea afficianadoes call it “terroir”– each tea’s unique signature. This particular pu-erh beeng cake has the flavor of the Jing Mai Mountain in Yunnan, China. So it has a unique taste. A 2007 Jin Mai pu-erh tastes different than a 1997, or even a 1977.

The flavor gets better and better with time.

Like fine wine, you can keep pu-erh teas for years. An aged pu-erh can fetch huge sums in the collector’s market. Some people buy them as investments, or wedding gifts for their children.

So collect the paper wrapper after you drink this delicious tea.

In China, Pu-Erh has long been called a healthy tea

Chinese people drink pu-erh after eating greasy food, because it’s thought to aid digestion. And they drink it after drinking, as it’s thought to aid hangovers. It also has uses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In the West, research on pu-erh health benefits is ongoing.

Pu-erh is high in antioxidants and amino acids. More importantly, pu-erh has the calming, stress-busting effects every fine tea offers.

Drinking it becomes a ritual. A safe place, really. Sit down with the pot of water, pour it into your gaiwan cup and watch the anger and frustration you felt at work melt away. There’s nothing else in the world but you and this tea.
