Pu Erh Brick

Pu Erh Brick, also known as Pu'er tea, is a type of fermented tea that originates from the Yunnan Province in China. It is made from the leaves of the *Camellia sinensis* plant, which undergoes a unique microbial fermentation process. This process involves several steps: the leaves are first roughly processed into *maocha* to stop oxidation, then they may be further processed by fermentation or directly packaged. The fermentation process, which can take months or years, involves the action of molds, bacteria, and yeasts, resulting in a tea that darkens and develops a rich, complex flavor profile. Pu Erh tea can be classified into two main types: raw (sheng) and cooked/ripe (shou). Raw Pu Erh is not fermented, while cooked Pu Erh undergoes a piling process to induce fermentation. The tea is often compressed into bricks, cakes, or other shapes, which allows it to age like fine wine, improving its flavor over time.
