Premium Pu Erh Menghai Five Years ORGANIC

Pu-erh is a post-fermented tea: after primary processing the leaf matures for months and years. Hence the dense earthy-woody taste and the full dark infusion.

A product with no flavourings or additives.

The raw material is certified organic: grown without synthetic pesticides or mineral fertilisers, with a documented supply chain from plantation to warehouse.

Pu-erh contains caffeine, but its effect is even, without a sharp surge.

Preparation: 12–15 g per litre, 3–5 minutes, water at 100 °C. Fermented leaf needs boiling water. The first quick infusion (10–15 seconds) is normally discarded — it rinses the leaf and removes storage dust.

The quantities given are averages. Soft water calls for slightly more tea, hard water slightly less.

Suitable both for the retail shelf and for a venue’s tea list: a recognisable profile, a predictable result in the cup, consistent quality from batch to batch.

Storage: in a tightly sealed opaque container, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Tea readily absorbs foreign aromas, so it should not be kept next to spices or coffee.

Packaging: sold loose, the price is given per 100 g. Alveus supplier code — 89040.

The supplier is Alveus (Germany), one of Europe’s largest tea houses. Packing and dispatch from the Verdamare warehouse.
