Pu-erh Tea (English Edition): A Beginner‘s Guide to Types, Brewing, Appreciation & Health

Learn How Pu-erh Is Processed, Classified, Brewed and Appreciated — From Raw and Ripened Tea to Buying, Storing and Its Health Benefits, with Full-Colour Photos
This book explains Pu-erh tea from the ground up—how it is processed, how it is classified into raw and ripened types, how to brew it at home, and how to tell a good one from a mediocre one. It also covers what to look for when buying Pu-erh, how to store it so it improves rather than spoils, and what the tea is traditionally believed to do for your health. The photos take you through the leaves, the cakes, the brewing process, and the finished cup, so you can see what the text is describing. It is written for readers outside China who want a practical, clear introduction to one of the country’s most distinctive teas—rather than a dense academic history or a generic guide that lumps all Chinese teas together. If that is what you are looking for, this is it.
