What sort of tea is the one called "PUER"?
Answers:
Pu-erh (or Pu'er tea) is a type of tea made from a "large leaf" variety of the tea plant Camellia sinensis and named after Pu'er county near Simao, Yunnan, China. In the Cantonese language, it is known as po-lay (or bo-lay) tea.
Pu-erh can be broadly classified as a green tea or post-fermented tea depending on processing method or aging. This "spanning" of tea types poses some problems for classification. For this reason, the "green tea" aspect of pu-erh is sometimes ignored, and the tea is regarded solely a post-fermented product. Unlike other teas that should ideally be consumed shortly after production, pu-erh can be drunk immediately or aged for many years. As such, pu-erh teas are often now classified by year and region of production much like wine vintages.
While there are many forgeries of pu-erh on the market and real aged pu-erh is difficult to find and identify, it is still possible to find pu-erh that is 10 to 50 years old, as well as a few from the late Qing dynasty. Indeed, tea connoisseurs and speculators are willing to pay high prices for older pu-erh, upwards of thousands of dollars per cake.
Pu-erh tea is typically available as loose leaf or as cakes of compacted tea
