Pu-erh Tea
Pu-erh tea is made from a specific green tea plant that grows in Pu-erh County, China. It is a fermented and aged green tea. The tea is classified using a system that identifies the year and location of origin, similar to the classification of wine. There are some varieties that have been aged between 10 and 50 years, and they may cost thousands of dollars for a single cake. This exotic tea is prized in Chinese culture for its therapeutic and medicinal properties.
