In this episode, Derek takes on a new type of tea: Pu’er (often romanized as Pu’erh). We give an in depth overview of the geographical make up of China’s Yunnan province, talking about its incredible biodiversity and myriad climate zones. We talk about different origin myths about puer and the naming conventions, and even get into the historical relevance of these myths and what truths we can glean from them. If you’re interested in sampling any puer tea, just head over to the onerivertea.com website to check out the teas we have sourced personally from this incredible region!
