Long before the words ‘speculation’, ‘investment’ and ‘bubble’ ever appeared in the same breath as Pu-er, the Chinese- particularly those from Guangzhou and Hong Kong have been drinking it to aid digestion and ‘wash down’ meals. Commonly found in Dim Sum restaurants, Pu-er’s popularity emerged as it helped patrons recover faster from binging on those delectable but oily offerings.
Pu-er continues to be popular everywhere as it is a mellow and especially suited for older folks as it does not ‘excite’ the stomach as much.

Company description not available.
Today in class we had Pu er tea. I think it is a black tea. We learned that the older the pu er tea is, the better the quality, higher the price, and happier the person drinking it (typically). We gave it a strong taste when we brewed it, It also tasted of earth, like the oolong teas.

Puerh is actually its own classification of tea – sometimes called dark tea.
