Pu-Erh Organic

During the 1200‟s the troops of Kubla Khan are said to have introduced Pu-Erh to the rest of China for its medicinal value. Pu-Erh is often taken for relief of indigestion and dysentery but has also been reported very useful in the reduction of cholesterol. Kunming Medical College claims that Pu-Erh can lower cholesterol by 17 percent and triglycerides by 22 percent. They may have been slightly over zealous about the properties of Pu-Erh as a University in Berlin and another in France found that the claim was perhaps overstated. A study in Japan indicated that all tea lowered cholesterol and that Pu-Erh was more effective than green tea. Other followers of „Chinese tea for health‟ report that Pu-Erh can; “cut the grease, help digestion, promote body fluid secretion, quench the thirst, invigorate the spleen and dispel alcoholic toxins” Whether Pu-Erh is effective or not for the various claims that researchers and tea drinkers make has not been firmly established; what is certain is that Pu-Erh is rather unusual and has properties many other teas do not share.
