This is a 2018 harvest ripe fermented Pu'er tea cake from Menghai, aged to achieve "Chen Xiang" (also spelled Chenxiang)--"the fragrance of aged" tea, much sought after by Pu'er connoisseurs. This produces a particularly mellow and smooth taste with a unique jujube aroma. The liquor is a dark brownish red color. This is the largest size of tea cake, weighing 357 grams.
Pu’er is a tea from China’s Yunnan province near the Laos and Myanmar border. High in antioxidants, studies show it can fight oxidative stress, promote weight loss, and regulate blood sugar. Pu’er tea also possesses anti-cancer properties. It has a lower caffeine level, less than coffee and green tea, which make it a great choice for drinking late into the day.
Pu’er has been called China’s best-kept secret for weight loss. Animal and test-tube studies show that it can help synthesize fewer new fats while burning more stored body fat. In one animal study, pu’er was also the only variety of tea capable of raising the level of good cholesterol and lowering the level of bad cholesterol.
