Category: Puerh

Rose Puerh brings a light touch to the world of fermented tea. Most people associate shou (or ripe) puerh with deep, musty flavors. 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 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.

Natalie ★★★★★

The rose petals add such a gentle floral note that it actually makes the earthy puerh base feel refreshing instead of heavy. Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up when I want something soothing but not too strong.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I usually find ripe puerh too heavy, but this one stays light and drinkable. The floral note softens that musty edge just enough without tasting like perfume. Been having it most afternoons now.

Nicholas H. ★★★★★

The rose petals do a lot of work here — they soften the fermented edge without hiding it, so you still get that deep puerh base underneath. I've been brewing it in the evenings and the floral note lingers nicely on the second steep.
