Chantilly Loam

Shou Puerh Blend Early 2000's
$29.00
Size2oz
Chantilly Loam tastes like warm sweet milk, jujube dates, and cream. It’s comfortable, thick, delicious, and grounding. The truth is that we don’t know a ton about this tea. It’s a blend of old-growth leaves from Southern Yunnan from the early 2000’s. Like so many aged, blended, loose-leaf Puerhs, it’s hard to confirm the exact vintage and location of origin. It comes from a trusted source who had some extra in his private collection. We especially love it for its patience: the tea brews for many steepings and helps you drop into your body. It’s the perfect tea for a chilly Autumn day as aged Puerh tends to warm the body, and for longer, “spacious” tea sessions when you need to let go of heaviness.

Origin: Yunnan Province, China

Featured in the Autumn 2023 Seasonal Tea Club.

Living Teas can be steeped many times. Enjoy small cups of tea, re-steeping the same leaves, rather than making a large pot or mug all at once.

Benefits of Puerh Tea

For thousands of years, Puerh has been the best multi-functional beverage you've never heard of.

Stress Relief

Puerh tea contains the phyto-chemicals GABA and theanine, which have been attributed to lower stress levels. These phyto-chemicals increase the production of melatonin, which can aid in better sleep and a calmer demeanor throughout the day.

Calm Energy

Thanks to the caffeine in Puerh tea, drinking a cup a day can help to increase your energy levels and focus. Every 8-ounce cup of Puerh contains about 60 to 70 milligrams of caffeine, and the naturally-occurring polyphenols in tea slow the release of caffeine in the body. (Read: No 2pm crash.) Compared to the 105 milligrams in a standard cup of coffee, this makes Puerh a good choice for people who find themselves too jittery after just one cup of coffee.

Increased Immunity

Puerh tea is high in antioxidants, vitamin C, and disease-fighting
catechins. Since Puerh is fermented, it has higher concentrations of these antioxidants than non-fermented teas, supporting your body's ability to maintain high levels of immunity and overall well-being.

Reduced Inflammation

Puerh contains high levels of polyphenols (flavonoids, catechins and theaflavin), which are not only known for their antioxidant activity, but their anti-inflammatory properties as well.

Healthy Gut Microbiome

Because Puerh is fermented, it contains probiotics that when consumed regularly, contribute to a balanced and robust gastrointestinal (GI) system. By regularly drinking Puerh tea, you can help maintain healthy flora throughout your digestive system.
