These delicious ripe Pu’er tea discs are flavored with whole coffee beans from Yunnan, creating an unusually aromatic cup with the deep, earthy character of fermented Pu'er and the roasted fragrance of coffee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA small amount of whole Yunnan coffee bean is added purely to perfume the tea and deepen its roasted aroma; the cup remains primarily ripe Pu'er, without the caffeine load of a serving of coffee. The coffee beans add warmth, richness, and a distinctly fragrant finish without overwhelming the tea itself. The result is smooth, mellow, and especially appealing for anyone who loves the taste and aroma of coffee but wants the character and benefits of ripe Pu'er tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 tea discs, with each piece breakable into two.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePu’er, also spelled Pu-er or Puerh, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePu’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShelf Life \u0026amp; Care\u003cbr\u003eStore in a cool, dry place.
