Undercurrent
Premium Gong Ting Shou Puerh 2010
- Description
- Brewing Instructions
Undercurrent is a seriously deep, dark, robust tea that reminds us of a favorite that we used to carry for many years called “Greg’s Galactivation Serum.” The small bud tips are loaded with tannins and oils, yielding a chocolatey, jujube date, oily, thick, calming brew, ideal for meditation and cold winter days. This is a tea for plunging into the unknown depths.
Shou puerh leaves are piled during the production of the tea, which creates heat and naturally growing microbes. Puerh factories themselves have rich microbial environments from years of making puerh. These microbes aid in digestion and the balancing of the gut microflora, which has a connection via the vagus nerve to the brain. So, the compounds naturally occurring in the tea, combined with the energy of the forest and the microbes, create the strong euphoric effects of Undercurrent.

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.
