Metropolitan Tea Company - Scottish Caramel Pu-erh Tea
About this Tea:
Now, for those of you who familiar with the earthy, musty character of traditional Pu-erh and are scratching your head over this flavor combo, scratch no more. Amazingly, the sweet, burnt sugary profiles of Caramel and Toffee blend in perfect harmony with the loose leafed Pu-erh. The cup is warming and thick, layered with notes of damp sweet earth, burnt caramel and cream with balanced astringency and medium finish - as an afternoon tea, this one has no peer. Interestingly, while most Pu-erh teas are best enjoyed on their own, the unique sweetness of this cup is well suited to a splash of milk.
In addition to their strong flavours, Pu-erh teas are highly sought after for their many purported health benefits. In particular, thanks to the fermentation process, Pu-erhs are thought to improve gut health and regulate blood sugar - factors that may contribute to weight loss. Pu-erhs are also known for their optimal antioxidant levels, which are being studied for their positive effects on fighting free radicals and toxins within the body.
