Pu Erh Summer Breeze

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.

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 proportions are a starting point, not a rule: adjust them by up to 20 % to suit your water and your taste.

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 — 84329.
