Hand-picked at a staggering height of over 7,200 feet high from ancient tea trees on Wuliang Mountain in Yunnan, this tea is a truly rare, exotic find. These are from very rare big leaf tea trees. The youngest trees are over 150 years old. Tribal people believe that the ancient tea trees that grow at high elevations hold special powers. This area of Yunnan gets an extremely high amount of sun all year long infusing this tea with loads of "Sun Qi" or Sun energy. This tea leaves you with very good, sunny, but light energy. This is a raw or "sheng" Pu-Erh.
2014 (Aged Raw Puerh Tea)
These raw puer leaves are long, slender, slightly twisted leaves with purple and silver hues with a sweet wood and cranberry fragrance.
This tea can really settle your stomach as the rich, thick liquor can give a protective coating on the inside. Puer is rich in beneficial bacteria which significantly aids digestion and is relaxing for the stomach. Puer also typically has double the vitamin C of raw puer which happens during the cooking process. It is thought to also reduce clogging of the arteries due to eating fatty foods.*

Raw Puer Tea
Wuilang Mountain, Yunnan, China.
United StatesI love this loose leaf puer. It has a clean taste and delicious flavor. And it is a good price for the quality!
JapanOne of my favorite raw pu'er teas. I always intend to see how well this tea ages and how it changes with age, but it is so delicious that it never makes it past about three months!! Full of flavor and Qi, this tea holds up to many steepings.
United StatesThe taste of this tea is subtle and lasting, a very satisfying blend of aromas and flavor. I prefer this particular tea prepared in the "Western" manner rather than "Gongfu" style, as the full range of taste comes through more clearly (to my palate). Thank you WTQ for making this raw pu-er available outside of China!
United StatesThis is a fine tea that I have been happily drinking since its arrival. I amy have to reorder soon!
TaiwanI am not very experienced with raw puer teas. The tea is very light and the leaves are truly beautiful. It doesn't taste many years aged to me. When I compare it to the fermented version the other is very powerful and deep. I am looking forward to see how this tea aged further.
