This auction is for 40 (2 boxes of 20) premium class Pu-erh tea bags, a production from YunNan province, China.
Introduction and history:
Pu-erh tea is traditionally made with leaves from old wild tea trees of a variety known as "broad leaf tea" or Camellia sinensis var. assamica, which is found in southwest China as well as the bordering tropical regions in Burma, Vietnam, Laos, and the very eastern parts of India and named after Pu'er county near Simao, YunNan, China.
The shoots and young leaves from this varietal are often covered with fine hairs, with the pekoe (two leaves and a bud) larger than other tea varietals. The leaves are also slightly different in chemical composition, which alter the taste and smell of the brewed tea, as well as its desirability for aging. Due to the scarcity of old wild tea trees, pu-erh made using such trees blended from different tea mountains of Yunnan are highly valued, while more and more connoisseurs are seeking pu-erh with leaves taken from a single tea mountain's wild forests. The history of pu-erh tea can be traced back to the 220AD
Pu-erh and Health:
Pu-erh Tea is commonly used as an aid for weight loss. Drinking a cup of Pu-erh tea with each meal is the correct way to use tea as a metabolism booster. Pu'erh tea by itself carries less than one calorie per serving, and it is most healthy when consumed with nothing added. The caffeine in tea increases body function to help burn more calories and the polyphenols seem to aid in the digestion of fat, truly making it a Chinese diet tea. Pu-erh tea has received the most attention regarding weight loss with many celebrities reported to be fans of it, including Victoria Beckham, Jerry Hall and Joss Stone.
Trials in China have shown that three cups a day for a month can lower blood fats by up to 30%. For weight loss, it is recommended to drink 3 cups a day for three months, then a cup a day for weight maintenance. For some individuals, simply limiting their intake of cholesterol does not always significantly lower their blood cholesterol level. Green tea has been shown to help decrease cholesterol. Pu-erh tea has been shown to help enhance fat metabolism. Both green and Pu-erh teas seem to bond to the cholesterol, reducing absorption as it goes through the digestive tract. This means the body does not absorb all of the fat even though it was eaten. Initial studies with Pu-erh tea have shown marked reductions in cholesterol. Pu-erh tea seems to outperform green tea in this category. Pu-erh tea metabolises fat helping you to lose weight. It also helps lower cholesterol and has a mildly stimulating effect on your digestive tract.
