Pu Erh Concentrate

It was assumed that the paste would provide the Army with the essential nutrients that were scarce in the high mountains of Tibet. After tinkering and experimenting long it has developed a manufacturing process for the Erh Pu concentrate.

Today you need 8 KG Maocha sheets for 500 g of Pu Erh concentrate. Therefore, the tea is very expensive.

The preparation is quick, easy and a positive effect on our well-being is guaranteed, according to Chinese studies. What more could you want: a perfect tea for European and American market.

Also on Pu Erh powder is worked hard. At the Tea Conference in Pu Erh City an instant powder was introduced from Pu Erh in June this year. Whether or not join a Pu Erh Matcha trend after trend? Let's see ...
