Shu Pu’er “Hong Ding Tao” Pressed Tea (No. 800)

Qi Zi Bing Cha (七子饼茶), literally translates as “Seven Sons Tea Cake,” because the cakes are packed together in sets of 7. The era of the Seven Sons began in 1972 with the formation of the now-famous “China National Native Produce & Animal By-product Import & Export Company,” often abbreviated as “CNNP.” Some of the youngest cakes from this era are only now beginning to reach maturity. The three main factories at the time were Menghai, Xiaguan, and Kunming.

Health Benefits of Shu Pu’er: Due to the beneficial microflora that develops during the aging process of the tea, Pu’er wonderfully breaks down fats, improves digestive processes, warms the stomach, aids in weight loss, cleanses the body of harmful substances and toxins, lowers cholesterol levels in the blood, and helps regulate blood pressure. It invigorates the entire body, increases tone, clears the mind, and simultaneously promotes a state of focus and deep calm.

Pu’er has long been used as a dietary supplement by many nomadic tribes living in remote regions. Since these tribes mainly consumed yak meat, which is rich in fats, tea helped them balance their diet by combating fat. Today, Pu’er is recognized for its cleansing properties, which particularly help regulate the body and aid digestion.

Pu’er tea has exceptional invigorating properties despite its low caffeine content. It improves attention and concentration, and also clears the mind, making it beneficial for those engaged in mental work. Its effects on the body can be compared to strong energy drinks. Additionally, Pu’er lowers blood sugar levels, warms the body, and removes toxins.

Shu Pu’er can be consumed even in the morning on an empty stomach.
