Yunnan Pu Erh Tea

Yunnan is ideal for tea production because of its geographical position and climatic conditions. It is the home of Pu Erh teas. The unique character of Pu Erh teas results from storing the tea in cool cellars or underground for one or more years. They have many alleged health properties, including lowering cholesterol, aiding weight loss and helping digestion. The light to dark brown leaf of this tea produces a strong, spicy, earthy taste and, depending on the brewing, an earthy, woody flavour. The cup has a rich dark red colour and is low in caffeine.

Is Pu Erh tea good for weight loss?

Pu Erh tea is widely sold as a weight loss tea and is regularly used as a main ingredient in commercially prepared weight loss tea mixtures. Although there is, as yet, no empirically backed evidence as to how Pu Erh tea might facilitate weight loss, there are widely proposed explanations. The belief is that the tea increases the drinker's metabolic rate and that the high tannin level reduces nutrient absorption.
