PU ERH CACAO & VANILLA

Pu Erh tea is one of the most consumed in China and throughout Asia mainly for its flavor nuances that have a very wide spectrum depending on the type and origin. 

Unlike green teas, the older the pu erh, the better it gets. It has also spread in the West because it is believed to have numerous properties at the digestive level, lowering cholesterol, generally warming the body, and traditional Chinese medicine recommends it for many types of ailments.
The peculiarity of this tea is that it undergoes a fermentation process of the leaves, which over time change and evolve, acquiring an ever-changing taste.
Below we link some of the most interesting studies conducted on this splendid tea.

INGREDIENTS

The pu erh cacao & vanilla is thus created from loose leaves with the addition of: Ceylon cinnamon, cocoa beans and nibs, orange peels, and vanilla.

It was not easy to find a flavored pu erh that met a high-quality standard; we believe this tea rises well above the average of what can be found around, try it to believe it!

In the Terza Luna shop, you can find other pu erh online that are in cake form, the classic shape this tea traditionally has: the leaves are pressed into a shape reminiscent of small discs generally weighing 100/200g.

HOW TO PREPARE PU ERH TEA?

Unlike the pu erh in cake form, whose preparation follows specific guidelines, the pu erh Cacao & Vanilla being in loose leaf form does not require very different instructions from other infusions. This is one of the reasons we wanted to introduce it into our catalog.
However, we recommend not steeping it for too long, a maximum of 2-3 minutes, water at 100°C, and about 3g per 200ml

Like all pu erh, its leaves can be reused several times, just don't steep the tea for too long.
Repeated infusions should be done within the same day.
