Features: Generally, tea should be consumed fresh, but Pu-erh tea is renowned as the "liquid ancient treasure," giving it the same collectible value as antiques, artworks, and porcelain. Among all tea varieties, only Pu-erh holds this status. Pu-erh tea is one of China's top ten famous teas, named after its major trading hub and original production area, Pu. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was known as "Pu Cha," and it was only in the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty that it was officially named Pu-erh tea. Throughout its long history, Pu-erh tea has always been a mysterious variety, gradually revealing its secrets only in the past two decades.
