Yiwu Wild Tree Raw Pu-erh is naturally fermented tea from wild ancient tea trees. Teas made of leaves from ancient tea trees have higher mineral and polyphenol-antioxidant contents than those from younger trees. Some of its health benefits are:

✓ Regulates bad cholesterol
✓ Promotes healthy metabolism
✓ Promotes weight and fat loss
✓ Improves eyesight
✓ Improves focus and mental health

Western Brewing: Portion 2-3 grams of tea for 12 fl oz water, and brew at 200-212°F for 3 minutes using your favorite infuser. Re-steep up to 3 times.

Gongfu Brewing: Portion 3-5 grams of tea for 4 fl oz of water, and brew at 212°F for 30-60 seconds using a Gaiwan or a Yixing teapot. Re-steep up to 5-10 times.

All teas from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant contain naturally-occurring caffeine, and our Yiwu Wild Tree Raw Pu-erh tea has medium-high caffeine content. If you want to lessen caffeine consumption, we recommend brewing with less tea or trying our naturally caffeine-free tisanes, such as Snow Chrysanthemum.

    Hi Patricia, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our Yiwu 2018. We're sorry to hear that you found this tea bland for your palate. Yiwu raw pu-erh is known for its lasting sweet notes that are very elegant and can come across as subtle compared to ripe pu-erh and other dark teas. We recommend you try our [Anhua 2013] Blooming Golden Flower Brick tea for a bolder flavor profile for your palate. Thank you again for sharing, and let us know if we can help in any way! Kind Regards, Ella

    All day tea bliss

    Ripe pu'er has never been my cup of tea, but this raw pu'er is amazing, a welcome addition to my standard green and Yunnan black favorites. On a pu'er day, I apportion 6g, and steep it for 30 seconds in 8 oz water, 7-8 times over the course of the day. Every cup is excellent.

    Hi Jason, Thanks for the excellent review on our Wild Lao Raw Pu'er! We are delighted to hear that you enjoy our raw pu-erh, making it an addition to your classic favorites! Raw pu-erh has very different qualities compared to ripe pu-erh. So I encourage you to try other types of raw pu-erh, such as [Bulang 2017] Raw Pu’er. We hope to hear from you again in the future, and we wish you all the best in your 'Pu'er days' :)

    Full bodied golden, a little figgy, with a sweet grassiness

    A puerh, no doubt, but with a lightness of a green tea. Full bodied golden, a little figgy, with a sweet grassiness that came to full bloom on infusion 3rd.

    Real tea with a rich taste

    I started being more cognizant of the quality of my food last year, so was pleasantly surprised to find Mansa at my company's WeWork office. I didn't realize how various the quality of tea can be and was quite happy with both the look and taste of Mansa. It was smooth, tasty, and beautifully packaged. Looking forward to brewing my next cup.
