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. 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCapping off the benefits of the aging that goes into Pu-erh, is research that appears to indicate the tea's ability to reverse some of the effects of aging itself. According to practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, aged Pu-erh has the ability to induce weigh-loss, fight cancer, protect the kidneys and ward off many other of the causes of early mortality. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Kitchen Pantry","offers":[{"title":"50 grams","offer_id":46728557363363,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams","offer_id":47997413064867,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 gram Bulk Bag","offer_id":46728557396131,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8179\/files\/youngpuerhpile_6c0bffb5-c649-46a4-b0d4-a7cee470234a.jpg?v=1767787380","url":"https:\/\/www.thekitchenpantry.com\/products\/metropolitan-tea-company-young-pu-erh-pu-erh-tea","provider":"The Kitchen Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
