Aged and fermented dark teas came about as a result of transporting teas to rural areas of China’s borders, hundreds of years ago. Before transporting tea to these areas, the Chinese would compress the tea leaves into slabs and logs. Traveling on horseback and camel, the teas were expose to moisture and began to ferment. It was discovered that this developed the flavour of the tea and it was believed that the fermentation created a tea that aided digestion and provided important nutrients. Today, Pu erh tea is a sought-after speciality that can be compared to fine wines.
