Recent research has discovered the health value of polyphenols in tea. Polyphenols serve as cellular anti oxidants and have been known to reduce cholesterol. These compounds are most present in fresh, non-fermented teas.  

As explained on our website, there are two categories of Puerh (Pu-erh, Pu'er) tea.  Puerh tea leaves can be served in either fresh or aged form.  

Since Puerh tea can be served either fresh, “sheng” (raw/green Puerh tea) or fermented, “shu” (fermented/cooked/black Puerh tea) it can fall into either the “green” or “black” tea category.
