How Puerh was Born?
It is believed that during the Tang Dynasty, travelers packed tea leaves in bricks to easily take them everywhere. Because of the long distances they traveled, weather changes, it took months before these bricks arrived to another destination, including years. Something during this time aged the bricks and transformed their flavor through time, it was maraculous. Teas would change color, flavor, would develop rich bodies and become thick, fruity, with delicious unique aromatics.
All teas are famous processes because of all their healthy properties. Some may even be more famous than others, what people dont know is they all come from the same plant. Greens and whites for example, are consumed because of their fresh flavors, puerhs on the other hand become more unique with time.
