普洱茶

Pu-erh is a variety of fermented tea produced in Yunnan province, China, and named after Pu'er City. Fermentation in the context of tea production involves microbial fermentation and oxidation of the tea leaves, after they have been dried and rolled. This process is a Chinese specialty and produces known as black tea (黑茶). This type of tea is different from western countries which their "black tea" in China is known as red tea (红茶). The best known variety of this category of tea is pu'er from Yunnan Province, named after the trading post for dark tea during imperial China.

Pu'er traditionally begins as a raw product and can be sold in any form and sold as "raw tea" (生茶). The product then undergo the complex process of gradual fermentation and maturation with time. The fermentation process developed in 1973 by the Kunming Tea Factory created a new type of pu'er tea. This process involves an accelerated fermentation into "ripe tea" (熟茶). The fermentation process was adopted at the Menghai Tea Factory shortly after and technically developed there. All types of pu'er can be stored to mature before consumption, which is why it is commonly labelled with the year and region of production.

Health

Scientific studies report that consumption of pu'er tea leaves significantly suppressed the expression of fatty acid synthase in the livers of rats; gains in body weight, levels of triacylglycerol, and total cholesterol were also suppressed. The compositions of chemical components found to have been responsible for these effects (catechins, caffeine, and theanine) varied dramatically between pu-erh, black, oolong, and green teas.

Specific mechanisms through which chemicals in pu'er tea inhibit the biosynthesis of cholesterol in the laboratory have been suggested, such as polyphenols. Small amounts of the cholesterol-reducing drug lovastatin have been measured in ripe tea samples.

Pu'er tea is widely sold, by itself or in blends, with unsubstantiated claims that it promotes loss of body weight in humans.
