Pu-erh tea should be steeped for 3-5 minutes at 200-212°F (93-100°C). Pu-erh is a fermented tea from Yunnan, China that develops complex, earthy flavors with age. Always rinse pu-erh with hot water for 10 seconds before your first steep — this washes away dust and opens the compressed leaves.
Pu-erh is the only tea that undergoes true microbial fermentation. Raw pu-erh ages naturally over years or decades, while ripe pu-erh uses an accelerated fermentation process invented in the 1970s. Some aged raw pu-erh cakes are highly prized collectibles worth thousands of dollars. The fermentation gives pu-erh its distinctive earthy, smooth character that no other tea can replicate.
