Funnel Mill

Pu-Erh

Pu-Erh is a famous Chinese Black Tea that is pressed into cakes. It is also referred to as Bing Cha, Ping Cha, and Fang Cha, depending on the specific shape of the tea cake. Bing Cha, for example, is biscuit shaped, and Fang Cha is square shaped.

In recent years, Yunnan Pu-Erh has received some publicity for its medicinal properties. Clinical research demonstrated that it was more effective than Clofibrate in reducing fat, with no side effects! Because of this, Yunnan Pu-Erh is often called “slimming tea” or “beauty tea” in more than twenty countries.

Funnel Mill carries several types of Pu-Erh, including a version of the esteemed Yunnan that has been aged for 20 years!
