Pu-Erh Teas (Chinese Slimming Tea)
This unique tea is only just starting to become known in the Western world.
Pu-erh is named after the region where it was first harvested. There is a small town in the Yunnan province called Pu-erh. They harvest the tea from a broad-leaved variety of tea, that is supposedly a very ancient strain of tea.
All teas have many health benefits, but Pu-erh has an extra one. Drinking Pu-erh tea can help reduce cholesterol, according to scientific studies, and by helping digestion (particularly of fatty foods), Pu-erh is the perfect tea after a heavy meal.
The brewed tea is dark red, and has a bold, earthy taste. For optimum brewing, use boiling water. Pu-erh can be purchased in a compressed state, in loose leaves, and in tea bags.
The flavour of Pu-erh is often under-appreciated, because it actually gets better with age. Letting it mellow will improve your cup of tea. You can buy very old samples of Pu-erh, but they will cost you. Some aged Pu-erh has been in storage for several years.
It is believed that Pu-erh Tea promotes healthy weight loss by boosting the metabolism and aiding the body to digest fatty foods. It is said that Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) buys Pu-erh tea and drinks it when she wants to drop a few pounds or maintain her current slim build. Joss Stone and Jerry Hall are said to be among the fans of Pu'Erh Tea too. Apparently Victoria drinks Pu-erh tea three times a day for three months and watches the weight drop off.
Pu'erh Tea (Loose Leaf)
This is tea that has been aged for years in humid conditions. It comes from Yunnan in Southern China. The leaves give a reddish liquor with a mellow/sweet aftertaste. Very fashionable. It's recognised as a support for digestion and diet aid, and may even help with weight loss.
Pu'erh Tea In Bags
This is the same tea as above in handy bags. Three bags a day for three months and notice the difference. 100 bags is a little more than a month's supply.
