A delicate yet profound fusion of floral elegance and earthy depth, this ripe pu'er tea disc lightly scented with whole mini roses offers a harmonious balance of flavor and wellness.
In traditional Chinese medicine, ripe pu'er is valued for its warming properties, aiding digestion, promoting metabolism, and gently detoxifying the body. The addition of rose petals enhances its benefits, helping to regulate Qi, ease tension, and uplift the spirit. Together, they create a tea that is as nurturing as it is delicious.

Note: this tea is lightly scented with rose. For those who are looking to maximize the functional benefits of rose, we recommend our Heavy Petaled Rose Tea Cake.
Pu’er, also spelled Pu-er (although this is considered an outdated Anglicized spelling), is an aged fermented tea from China’s Yunnan province. Not only does the fermentation process lend pu’er its distinct flavor, it also boosts its medicinal properties—pu’er tea is high in antioxidants, and 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.
It’s also a highly-coveted tea with an obsessed fanbase. As one writer said, “Pu-erh, which is processed in a special way to encourage microbial fermentation after the leaves are dried, ages more dynamically than any tea out there. It does not have fans. It has junkies who buy kilos of the stuff at a time to bliss out on days-long brewing sessions, only dropping out of their highs long enough to argue over the best pu-erh blends, growing regions, and storage methods. There are grasping amateurs who buy, gift, and drink the tea to gain social status among Chinese elite.”
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.
