Rose Puerh brings a light touch to the world of fermented tea. Most people associate shou (or ripe) puerh with deep, musty flavors. Our single-origin Shou Puerh dips into that earthy territory, yet with a surprising smoothness and creamy texture. The addition of rose petals elevates this tea, with soothing floral notes and a texture reminiscent of fresh strawberries. The brightest aromatic notes linger long after each sip, nearing a slightly fruity tang. All the while, the puerh tea maintains an unobtrusive, full-bodied presence. We enjoy puerh and other dark teas for many reasons. Fermentation creates a probiotic, gentle cup, lower in caffeine than a black tea. Puerhs don’t turn bitter or astringent, even after long or repeated steeps. They can soothe upset stomachs while tasting rich enough to stand in as a coffee substitute. Rose Puerh makes a perfect introduction to the world of puerh teas. If you’re curious for more, check out our Puerh Sampler to taste the range of this age-old tradition.
