Numi Organic Tea Mint Puerh, Full Leaf Green Tea, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 2) Overview
Numi’s rare Mint Puerh is picked from 500 year old wild-crafted, organic tea trees deeply rooted in the remote high mountains of Yunnan, China. The large tea leaves are hand-picked, then slightly oxidized in the sun, resulting in green Puerh with a bright golden hue. Accented by Numi’s signature organic Moroccan Mint, this tea imparts a refreshing, vibrant flavor with a smooth, mellow body and long, sweet aftertaste. Sipping Mint Puerh, you are enlivened by a rich and powerful wonder tonic. Puerh (pū-ĕr) is an ancient healing tea known for its medicinal properties and rich taste. Numi’s Organic Puerh comes from 500-year-old, wild, organic tea trees grown in China’s pristine Yunnan Mountains. The maturity of these trees yields a superior tasting tea compared to younger pruned bushes. Unlike traditional teas that are oxidized over an 8 hour period, Puerh undergoes a unique 60-day fermentation process resulting in a bold, earthy flavor with hints of malt and more antioxidants than green tea. Puerh can be compressed into bricks and aged, like fine wine, for months, years or even decades. This increases its value, health benefits and premium taste. Numi’s organic Puerh Tea is made from “broad leaf” tea from the pristine Yunnan mountains of Southwestern China. Puerh’s ancient history began over 2,000 years ago when tea was transported by horse caravans along 5 main routes known as the “Tea Horse Roads”. The most traveled road began in the village of Pu Erh. Merchants compressed the tea to maximize their load when traveling across China & found the tea tasted better at journey’s end and yielded additional health benefits. It is said that the Last Emperor’s mother cured her gout by drinking Puerh. Like fine wine that undergoes a fermentation process, Puerh’s processing acts on nutrients already existing in tea. Puerh tea is purported in Chinese culture to aid digestion & rejuvenate life energy.
