NEW TEA

Tasting Notes: spice, earthiness, autumn

Description: Deep, earthy pu'er is layered with warm cinnamon, clove, ginger and cardamom, with a woodsy flavor that brings to mind autumn leaves and cozy sweater weather. Hints of pumpkin add mellow depth and round out the spice.

A rich and cozy tea inspired by a cottage surrounded by falling autumn leaves and wooded trails. This spiced pu'er is the cup we reach for when we want a higher-caffeine tea that feels warm, comforting and full of seasonal spice.

Rich and satisfying, with a long finish that lets the earthy pu'er and warm spice linger on the palate.

If you enjoy our Seven Seas or Buttercream Pu'er, we think you’ll love this one too.

What is pu'er tea? The medicinal properties present in pu'er teas are what set them apart. They're known to be powerful digestive aids, can ease stomach issues, are natural detoxifiers, may aid in weight-loss, may ease anxiety, and are said to lower both blood pressure and cholesterol.

Pu'er (Pu-erh) is an aged and fermented tea that is produced in the Yunnan province China. This ancient tea is now beloved all around the world. It was inadvertently created on the Tea Horse Road, an ancient trade route that spanned from China to Tibet. The thousand mile trade route navigated through mountains with harsh conditions. During the journey, it was found that tea leaves were altered by moisture, varying temperatures, and sunlight exposure. These natural conditions resulted in a fermentation and aging process of the tea. This process created a tea with unique taste profiles and particular health benefits. Nowadays, pu'er tea is deliberately aged and fermented to re-create the tea that was crafted while on the Tea Horse Road.
