Lovers (but not only) of
tea remind that you can read two more posts about tea – green and white, so
today is a time for their one – red tea.
Ok, I drink it very rarely but the taste of my favourite Rooibos here is irreplaceable
(till now of course). It’s the best for long winter evening and nights in front
of computer screen ;) Red tea comes from China
but it’s also produced in Taiwan. It’s called Pu Erh – name comes from the city Puer which is in Yunnan province –
it’s commonly known as a place where tea is produced. I think that many of
people see it in shops on tea boxes. There are special trees in Yunnan, called
Qingmao and the have special leaves. The leaves are specially prepared – fermented
and dried in special baskets. It’s a way of preparation known in China for more
than 1000 years and probably it won’t change. It doesn’t have to – thanks to
it, red tea has many benefits which I’ll tell you later about.
