Ripe Pu-erh Tea

Ripe pu-erh tea (熟普洱茶 shú pǔěr chá) is made by putting raw pu-erh tea through wet-pile fermentation, resulting in a tea that is characteristically dark, rich, and smooth. Ripe pu-erh is usually free from bitterness and astringency; and yields an opaque brewed liquid that ranges from dark brown to deep red. Ripe pu-erh tea is unmistakably earthy and bold with notes of dark chocolate, incense, and ripe fruit emerging from a baseline fermented funkiness. For those new to ripe pu-erh, we recommend our iconic mainstay 2024 'Kuura-Cola' Ripe Puerh Tea. For those interested in a more sensual, slow-burn tea session, we offer 2024 'Unholy Oil' Ripe Puerh Tea.
