Pu-erh tea (also commonly known as 'puer,' 'pu'er,' 'po lei' and 'bolay' tea, and known as 'dark tea' or 'black tea' in China) is a semi-rare type of tea that is made in Yunnan, China. In the West, pu-erh tea is known for its health benefits..
Good quality pu'erh tea has a deep, rich flavor that many consider earthy or mushroomy. Bad quality pu-erh often tastes muddy or moldy. Good quality pu-erh often appeals to coffee drinkers and pairs well with rich desserts. The flavor and reputed health benefits of pu'erh tea also make it a great option for drinking as a digestive after a heavy meal.
Many of the tea companies in china have a process that involves pressing the tea into either rings or bricks with a very ornate design that is their signature. Many of the original colonial settlers had "bricks" of tea that they would carry in their "kitchen" and when it came time for them to enjoy a cup of tea, they would boil water, scrape some tea off of the brick into a cup or mug, add water and enjoy... it was what was done in that day.
