Vilgain Pu-erh – secondarily fermented dark tea with an earthy flavor

Vilgain Pu-erh is a traditional Chinese dark tea made from the large-leaf variety of the tea plant Camellia sinensis var. assamica from the southwestern Yunnan province. It is characterized by its bright red color, delicate earthy taste, and distinctive aroma typical of higher-grade Yunnan teas.

Modern accelerated fermentation method

Our Pu-erh is produced using the modern shou manufacturing method (ripe), which utilizes rapid controlled microbial fermentation, known as wet-piling (wu-dui). This accelerates the entire production process, which traditionally took several decades (sheng method). The tea leaves are then dried, pressed, and left to mature.

Unlike commonly available Pu-erh teas, Vilgain Pu-erh is made from small, golden tips (young shoots) and young, tender leaves, which places it in a higher grade of teas.

A flavor profile full of earthy depth

Pu-erh is also known as red tea due to the color of the infusion, which boasts a mahogany to ruby hue. In China, it is classified as a dark – post-fermented – tea. Here, it is simply considered a black tea. It has a delicately earthy flavor profile with light notes of nuts or wood.

Pu-erh is regarded as an excellent aid for digestion. Traditionally, it is recommended to drink after heavy meals, but it is also suitable for all-day sipping.

After opening the sachet, you are overwhelmed by the smell of moldy bread, and this impression does not disappear even after pouring water over it and remains until the last sip. I don't know if the mold has completely destroyed the taste buds of the other reviewers, but there is something wrong with this tea.
