With Pu Erh tea spending anything from days to years underground you’d expect this fermentation process to produce some health benefit. We having brought together scientific papers, research and advice I find out the truth.

What did I find?

Pu erh tea has been drunk in china as a tonic for digestion. Far more so than any other tea. In traditional Chinese medicine it is believed to have high levels of Qi (chi) which helps to flush the body of toxins.

Yunnan Natural Medicine Research Institute in China found it to have a significant impact against cancer cells of the throat and mouth.

In another cancer study they found a side effect of the consumption of pu erh caused a reduction in weight, lowered cholesteral and lower triacylglycerol levels.

Pretty good and it makes a dam nice cup of tea too.

My recommendations…
