Default pu-erh at its best

You'll find great Pu-Erh at
http://www.betjemanandbarton.com/en/shop/prd.php?id=128

This tea comes from South Central Yunnan.
Once picked, the leaves are twisted then naturally dried in the shade.
Fermentation develops this absolutely unique earthy taste, slightly sweet,
with a deep red infusion.
Pu-Er teas are aged teas that are sometimes quite old.
