Rice Ripened Loose Pu-erh Pyramid Tea Bag

This is one of TeaVivre’s pu-erh pyramid tea bag series, presented for easy, simple brewing. The leaves of the tea are of high quality Yunnan pu-erh teas. The finely translucent bags allow you to enjoy the shapes of the tea leaves stretching while they brew, and also allow the tea to easily seep into the water and bring out its rich mellow aroma, as is done in loose brewing. The idea of the tea bags is so this authentic tea can be brewed whenever and wherever.

We have been committed to providing delicious, healthy tea products to our customers, and as such have focused much of our attention on sourcing quality leaves and material from the very first step when we planned to offer our customers these pu-erh tea bags. The pyramid shape allows the leaves to expand more than more common shapes of bag, resulting in a better brew, and the natural corn fiber material is biodegradable and entirely natural.

It is also famous for being the hometown of Yunnan black tea. Fengqing has a long history of planting, producing, and drinking tea, and contains a beautiful throng of mountains webbed with rivers.

Yunnan large-leaf is a rare variety of tea bush, and one of the kinds best-suited to making pu-erh tea. Yunnan has a unique geographic advantage, with plenty of rainfall and proper temperature for growing large-leaf varieties. The leaves from this variety are abundant in polyphenols, catechins, amino acids, and caffeine.

Pu-erh tea is one of the oldest types of Chinese tea, with a history stretching back over 1,700 years to the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the tea was called Jing Cha. It is named after the town of Pu’er in Yunnan province, which was the earliest trading center for this tea. In its early history pu-erh was used as a bartering currency throughout southwest China, and there the famed Cha Ma Gu Dao - or Tea Horse Road - was built especially to transport this tea through the Himalayas to other countries and areas in Tibet.
