Disadvantages

however, does not go to say that the stronger the tea, the more advantages it will yield. Too much tannic acid will affect the secretion of the gastric juice, irritate the membrane of the stomach and cause indigestion or constipation. Strong tea taken just before bedtime will give rise to occasional insomnia. Constant drinking of over-strong tea may induce heart and blood-pressure disorders in some people, reduce the milk of a breast-feeding mother, and put a brown color on the teeth of young people. But it is not difficult to ward off these undesirable effects: just don't make your tea too strong.

Types of Pu Erh

Pu-erh Tea can be divided into two distinct categories, Green Pu-erh and Black Pu-erh: Green Pu-erh (Also known as “Raw” or “Un-Cooked” Pu-erh): This is the oldest type of Pu-erh and before the 1970’s most Pu-erh was of the green process type. Within the Green Pu-erh category we find various grades of loose leaf sun-dried green teas made with Yunnan’s broad leaf varietals. These are generally sold as “Saiqing Mao Cha” or for the manufacturing of compressed Green or Black Pu-erh. The more reserve grades of sun-dried green tea or “Saiqing” consist of pure leaf sprouts and buds known as “Saiqing Ya Cha” which are sorted out of “Saiqing Mao Cha” by hand. In some cases, only the buds and tender leaf shoots are plucked from the tea trees to make “Saiqing Ya Cha” or “bud tea”. Both “Saiqing Mao Cha” and “Saiqing Ya Cha” are found in loose leaf styles but most is used to make compressed Green Pu-erh or fermented for Black Pu-erh. Most Green Pu-erh is of the compressed type and available in many interesting shapes such as large round tea cakes that look like ancient money like our Green Pu-erh Tea Cake.

What is pu erh tea?

Pu-erh or Pu'er tea (普洱茶) is a type of tea made from a "large leaf" variety of the tea plant Camellia sinensis and named after Pu'er county near Simao, Yunnan, China।

Pu-erh tea can either be purchased as either raw/green (sheng) or ripened/cooked(shou), depending on processing method or aging. Sheng and shou pu-erh can in turn be roughly classified on the tea oxidation scale as either a green tea or post-fermented tea, respectively. The fact that pu-erh fits in more than one tea type poses some problems for classification. For this reason, the "green tea" aspect of pu-erh is sometimes ignored, and the tea is regarded solely as a post-fermented product. Unlike other teas that should ideally be consumed shortly after production, pu-erh can be drunk immediately or aged for many years. As such, pu-erh teas are often now classified by year and region of production much like wine vintages.

While there are many forgeries of pu-erh on the market and real aged pu-erh is difficult to find and identify, it is still possible to find pu-erh that is 10 to 50 years old, as well as a few from the late Qing dynasty. Indeed, tea connoisseurs and speculators are willing to pay high prices for older pu-erh, upwards of thousands of dollars per cake.

Pu-erh tea is typically available as loose leaf or as cakes of compacted tea।
