Drunk for thousands of years, Pu-Erh Tea is a traditional Chinese medicine and is a true ally of our health for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. It is traditionally made with the leaves of Camellia Sinensis tree, variety Assamica, native to Yunnan, southwestern China, bordering Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.

Pu-Erh Tea's antioxidants are undergoing a transformation during the fermentation and detail for this differ in quantity and type in some cases from those contained in Green Tea. Green Tea contains a higher percentage of "fresh" antioxidants (unfermented) and does not contain any microorganisms present in Pu-Erh Tea. The main organic components of these two are Tea flavonoids and more specifically Catechins and their derivatives. The most important are: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), Gallic acid (GA), (+)-catechin © epicatechin (EC), gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), epicatechin gallate (ECG), quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, proanthocyanidins, caffeine, theobromine, and many more.
