What is Pu-erh tea?

Puerh, Pu-erh, Pu Er, Puer, or Pu-er tea is made from a broad-leaf variety native to China's Yunnan province called ?Yunnan Dayeh.? Pu-erh tea starts out its life as a green tea. But over time, the fermentation process transforms it into a black tea. The difference between Pu-erh tea and other teas is that Pu-erh tea is a truly fermented tea where biological changes affected the aroma, color and flavor of the tea. Pu-erh tea, unlike other teas, can be aged for decades and it becomes smoother and more complex over time if aged under proper storage conditions. Pu-erh tea has been the most sought-after tea by tea connoisseurs in Asia in recent years and it is gaining popularity in the West. In addition to the unique characteristics of the tea, tea connoisseurs across the globe are most intrigued by the history and culture of Pu-erh.
