This aging process in a relatively high humidity environment has mellowed the elemental character of the tea when compared to young Pu-erh (aged about 1 year). As with wine, young pu-erh is considered the least valuable whereas pu-erh 5 years or older is more highly prized. Interestingly the taste of pu-erh becomes more mellow with age and perhaps more acceptable to the western palate. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-icon\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe method of production is: The tea leaves are picked, rolled, withered in the hot sun, after which they are steamed and pressed into cakes. (This pu-erh is broken up out of the cakes to make it easier to deal with). The steaming process generates some moisture and when compressed (without drying) into the cakes, in the course of time the tea takes on a musty and earthy character. Pu-erh that gets somewhat moldy before it naturally dries is considered the best. Pu-erh is then stored for years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Kitchen Pantry","offers":[{"title":"50 grams","offer_id":46728558149795,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams","offer_id":47997573431459,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 gram Bulk Bag","offer_id":46728558182563,"sku":null,"price":129.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8179\/files\/golden_pile.jpg?v=1786837375","url":"https:\/\/www.thekitchenpantry.com\/products\/metropolitan-tea-company-golden-pu-erh-tea","provider":"The Kitchen Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
