Fair Trade Certified USDA Organic Brews 42 Cups Certified Organic by QAI, Inc. Certified Kosher Rich, full-bodied and smooth with a deep earthy sweetness and notes of cocoa Pu-erh tea has an ancient past originating in Yunnan, China millennia ago. This rare, rich tasting tea is treasured as a healthful, energizing tonic. Its deep, smooth flavor is created through an artisanal pile fermentation process that transforms sun-dried green tea into ripened, full-bodied Pu-erh tea. Crafting Style This Pu-erh tea originates in remote mountain villages where China's Yunnan Providence meets Southeast Asia. Here, the beyond-organic environment nurtures heirloom tea cultivars as it has for generations: without human or industrial inputs. Sun-dried green tea known as saiqing maocha is produced in this ancient tea appellation, and sought after for its strong energy and geographically unique flavor. Artisans transform saiqing maocha into Pu-erh using a traditional leaf piling fermentation process that creates the ripened and deeply rich profile of Pu-erh tea over the course of 85-120 days.Rishi Tea
