Origin

Yunnan, China Yunnan province, found at the southwesternmost corner of China, is considered the place of origin for the tea plant. It is home to the famous Puer teas and is renowned for its biodiversity, ethnic diversity and breathtaking mountains.

Puer Tea

Puer tea is named for the town of Puer where teas from the surrounding mountains were brought, pressed into bricks and cakes and sent across the continent.

Wu Doi

To reach its destination, the tea traveled through a range of climates and weather, often by horse and camelback. For this reason, Puer became known for having an aged, earthy quality. Nowadays, this earthy character can be encouraged through a process known as Wu Doi. Tea leaves are moistened, (wu) and stacked (dui) in piles, undergoing post-fermentation.

Flavor Profile

A very dark, earthy, sweet, smooth infusion that does not gain bitterness in steeping. Its clear aroma and red-gold color brings to mind a topaz gemstone.

    Best by

    The length of time for "Best By" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
    Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter "Best By" dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
    Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct "Best By" dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
