Tea leaves are collected and twisted, left in this way, they mature, then the process of microbial fermentation takes place - long-term exposure of the leaves to the action of micronutrients. The result of this process is a dark tea with an earthy taste that takes some getting used to. Thanks to its slimming properties, we use it quite often. It occurs mainly in the province of Yunnan and it is the tea produced there that is called Pu Erh (red teas from other regions cannot use this name). It is available in various forms. It can be a loose leaf fermented in piles or pressed lumps of various shapes and sizes (the most popular: Bingcha, Tuocha, Zhuancha). Good red tea has a slight leaven smell but must not reek of mold. Basically, the more expensive red tea, the better. There are rare exceptions to this rule.

The age variety is a tea in which fermentation processes take place naturally, without supporting them, for many years (from several to even several dozen), mild in taste, with a unique, multi-level aroma. Both varieties can arise from different parts of the tea bush, the tea is made of the most delicate buds and aged for a short time (1-2 years), it is called white Pu Erh.
