This dark, full bodied and rich Yunnan tea has long had the reputation of aiding body fat metabolism, reducing weight and to both balance & control the cholesterol levels of the blood. Clinical trials both in China and in France have indicated that this may be true and a series of celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Jerry Hall and Joss Stone have been keen to use the teas for this purpose (as reported by the Daily Mail 24/1/2008).

This Yunnan Pu Erh Tou Cha is produced from high quality dark loose leaf Pu Erh tea, steamed and pressed into small bowl shaped disks before being wrapped into individual protective paper wrappers.

Each wrapped serving weighs approximately 5.5 grams and can be unwrapped and dropped directly into a mug or teapot for brewing. The brew delivers a rich and deeply textured dark red infusion with a hint of pine forest.

(also known as Pu-erh tea, Puh'er tea, Pu-er tea, Puer tea, Puerh tea or Pu erh tea)
