Zen Dog Teas - Chinese Puerh Tea Shou / Ripe - Tea Cake - Cooked Puerh Gushu 12.6 Ounce (357 grams)

Zen Dog Teas Shou / Ripe Puerh is compressed into a cake for ease of travel, storage and aging. It brings to mind the old Tea Horse Road of a thousand years ago when pu'erh tea cakes were transported from China by horse and foot to Tibet. Tea was used as a form of currency to exchange tea for horses. Now days the tea has gained a cult status, for tea enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. Pu'erh tea enhances a meal, and is know for detoxification benefits. Drinking this tea is like witnessing a tangible wave of peace and transcendance wash over you; allowing all that does not serve you, to simply wash away. This is a living tea that becomes more mellow and smooth with age if properly stored.
