How is Puerh tea fermented?
After the leaves are picked, they are piled into heaps, covered with burlap, dampened frequently for 60 days and rotated every 10 days. The tea is then dried and compressed into bricks for aging further elevating the fermentation process. The tea could also be left loose which is what Numi uses in our tea bags. It tastes rich, smooth, and slightly-sweet with hints of malt.
