All About Tea
Pu-Erh-Tea
It is tea Jim, but not as we know it. Pu-erh really is the most astonishing product. This tea is not just a semi fermented tea but actually improves with age. The tea is made by withering the leaves in the normal way and is left to ferment for about 70% of the time. At that stage you have made red tea as it is called. It is the next bit that is so interesting. The tea is wrapped in sacking and buried for about three years and is then dug up and ready for serving. Some Pu-erh tea is considerably older than that.
Why go to all that trouble? Well the taste for one thing. A properly made pot of Pu-Erh is the most delicious refreshing drink. It is also rumoured to increase the metabolic rate and increase activity levels. The tea also has a number of celebrity fans who are rumoured to be passionate about it. Our customers do give us positive reports about both taste and energy levels.

Dear Customers
With this long dry spell we have had keeping hydrated is a big challenge but somehow tea always comes up to the mark, be it a rousing cup of Assam or a refreshing light cup of Darjeeling. I have been resting up on the deck of my narrow boat with many a cup of Darjeeling this last month in between packing the new teas like cazy of course!
As it comes arround to the summer holidays I know a number of you just can't go away without your own tea so make sure you get your order in before you set off for your well earned rest.
Have a great summer and take care!
Regards
