What is Pu-Erh tea?

• Pu-Erh tea is produced in Chinas Yunnan province
  and comes from the same plant family (Camellia
  sinensis) as oolong, green, and black tea.
• Pu-Erh is fermented similarly to oolong tea but
  goes through an additional process called
  post-fermentation. Afterwards, the leaves are
  sundried and aged in a high-humidity environment.

Benefits of Pu-Erh Tea

• Considered a delicacy in China, Pu-Erh tea
  contains numerous health benefits, including
  cardiovascular improvement, antioxidants, and
  weight loss.
• Pu-Erhs level of fluorine is way below the
  maximum RDA and contains much less caffeine than
  black teaapproximately half the amount.

4
Cardiovascular Health

• Research on rats has shown drinking Pu-Erh tea
  raises protective High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
  while simultaneously reduces Low Density
  Lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol.
• By lowering lipids, or fats, in the blood,
  studies suggest it can lower cardiovascular
  conditions such as stroke.

5
Cancer Fighting Antioxidants

• Deriving from the Camellia sinensis family,
  Pu-Erh contains catechins, an antioxidant that
  combats cancer.
• Green tea is the highest in catechins, but Pu-Erh
  is considered green if it is not fermented.
  Pu-Erh tea still contains traces of catechins.
• Thanks to this antioxidant, Pu-Erh has been found
  to hinder tumor growth and in turn fights against
  carcinogens.

6
Weight Loss

• The combination of catechins, caffeine, and
  theanine help in regulating weight loss.
• In addition, Pu-Erh tea has the ability to stop
  fatty acid synthase (FAS), which is an enzyme
  connected to obesity and cancer.
• By helping to reduce obesity, Pu-Erh also reduces
  blood sugar levels and blood lipid levels.

7
Mental Health

• Pu-Erh is believed to aid in improving mental
  functions and capacities, such as sharp thinking
  and mental awareness.
• The micro-organisms and phyto-chemicals (GABA and
  theanine) reduce stress levels.
• They also increase the bodys natural melatonin
  production that improves a persons sleep.

• Everything we eat contains acids and other free
  radicals that, over time, can build up in our
  bodies.
• Micro-organisms and sugars produced by Pu-Erh tea
  attack the toxins in the blood and remove them.

  anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal to
  reduce the pain in those suffering from
  arthritis.
