What is Pu-erh tea?
Pu-erh tea originates from the Chinese province of Yunnan and is traditionally made from the large-leaf assamica variety. Unlike classic black tea, Pu-erh is fermented and aged.
There are two main directions to distinguish:
• Shou Pu Erh (mature / “ripe” Pu Erh) – here, the fermentation process is accelerated in a controlled manner. This results in a dark, full-bodied cup with earthy, warm, and chocolatey notes.
• Sheng Pu Erh (raw Pu Erh) – is processed like a green tea and then matures over years; depending on its age, it is more fruity, herbal, or deep and complex.
Your product range clearly focuses on mature Pu Erh profiles with a dark, clear cup, gentle earthiness and harmonious depth – pure or in combination with spices.
Pu-erh tea at NOEMA – our styles
Pu Erh Menghai 5 Years
A five-year-aged Pu-erh from Menghai, Yunnan. Dark cup, notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and caramelized fig. Full-bodied, warm, with a gentle earthiness on the finish – ideal as a meditative companion in the morning or afternoon.
Pu Erh Mini Tuo Cha
Individually pressed portions of mature Pu-erh tea – conveniently measured for single cups or pots. Dark and earthy in profile, with nuances of damp wood, forest floor, and subtle sweetness. Perfect if you want to prepare Pu-erh easily while appreciating a traditional form.
Pu Erh Chai
A spicy blend of aged Pu-erh coffee and classic chai spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and clove. Robust, deep, and warming – ideal as a chai latte with (plant-based) milk for cold days or as a coffee alternative with a broader range of spices and an earthy base.
How to properly prepare Pu-erh tea
Pu-erh is quite forgiving, but it develops its depth and clarity best when the temperature and brewing time are right. You can use the information on the product pages as a guide, and additionally, general guidelines at the category level:
• Water temperature: usually 90–100 °C for mature Pu-erh
• Western-style: approx. 2–4 minutes per infusion, depending on the desired strength
• Multiple infusions: Pu-erh tea is excellent for 2–5 infusions, often with an increasingly rounded sweetness.
Helpful notes for the text:
• Always pour off the tea completely so that it doesn't continue to steep.
• If the cup is too strong or too earthy → shorten the brewing time or use slightly more water
• For Chai Latte: First, let the Pu Erh Chai steep in water, then pour on (plant-based) milk and optionally bring to a brief boil.
You can also emphasize here that Pu Erh is well suited for Gongfu preparation: several short infusions in which depth, sweetness and structure are revealed layer by layer.
Which Pu-erh tea suits you best?
If you want to discover classic, dark Pu-Erh profiles, Pu Erh Menghai 5 Years will lead you towards dark chocolate, dried fruit and quiet warmth – a tea for focused work or long conversations.
If you like it practical and clearly portioned, Pu Erh Mini Tuo Cha are ideal: one tartlet per cup, multiple infusions, deep, earthy profile – without weighing.
If you're looking for a spicy, warming blend suitable for chai latte, Pu Erh Chai is your first choice: plenty of body, a wide range of spices, and a base that remains stable even with milk.
The "Pu Erh Tea" category can thus appeal to both beginners (easily explained difference, clear effect, practical forms) and connoisseurs who are specifically looking for origin and maturity.
FAQs
What is Pu Erh tea and why is it special?
Pu Erh tea is a fermented tea variety from Yunnan Province, China. The unique maturation process develops complex, earthy and deeply aromatic notes over time. High-quality Pu Erh teas mature over decades and gain in sweetness, softness and variety of flavors.
What is the difference between Sheng Pu Erh & Shu Pu Erh?
There are two main types of Pu Erh tea:
• Sheng Pu Erh (raw) – Natural fermentation over years or decades. When young it tastes fresh, grassy and slightly fruity, and as it matures it develops sweet, honey-like notes.
• Shu Pu Erh (Aged) – Artificially matured through wet fermentation. It is darker, fuller-bodied and has intense aromas of earth, wood, cocoa and dried fruit.
How long can you store Pu Erh tea?
Pu Erh is one of the few teas that improves in quality over the years:
• Sheng Pu Erh can mature for over 30 years and develops from fresh and fruity to deeply sweet.
• Shu Pu Erh usually develops its full aroma after 10 to 20 years.
How to store Pu Erh tea properly?
In order for Pu Erh to mature optimally, it needs to be stored in an airy, dry place:
• Do not pack airtight – the tea must be able to breathe.
• Store in a cool, dark and dry place to avoid foreign odors.
• Rice paper or cotton cloths are ideal for natural storage.
How do you prepare Pu Erh tea properly?
Pu Erh unfolds over several infusions and changes its aroma:
• Quantity: 4–5 g tea per 200 ml water
• Water temperature: 90–100 °C
• Brewing time: 20–30 seconds (Sheng), 30–60 seconds (Shu)
• Multiple infusions: Up to 10 infusions possible
Tip: Before the first infusion, briefly “rinse” the leaves with hot water (approx. 5 seconds) to activate the full aroma.
