Ripe Pu'er
This highly sought-after tea from Yunnan, China, is renowned for its unique fermentation process that imparts a distinctive earthy flavor. Through a specific post-fermentation process, its aging is accelerated, enhancing its deep, rich, and smooth flavor that continues to develop over time.
This process involves activating certain microbes to break down the organic compounds in the tea, significantly enhancing its flavors and aromas. The result is a transformation from fresh, grassy notes to a rich and earthy profile, while reducing bitterness and astringency to create a smoother, more mellow tea.
Yunnan's commitment to preserving traditional methods means this organic tea is produced through all-natural processes without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides.
Drinking this ripe Pu'er evokes the scent of a forest after rainfall and damp soil, with a rich lingering sweetness on the palate. It captures the essence of the wild, offering a deeply resonant and soothing experience that brings one closer to nature.

Additional Information
Pu'er Tea
The production of Pu'er tea involves several distinct phases, each critical to developing the tea's unique flavour, color, and aroma:
- Heating: Freshly picked tea leaves are quickly heated through pan-firing or steaming to deactivate enzymes and prevent unwanted oxidation.
- Shaping: The leaves are rolled or compressed into various shapes, such as cakes, bricks, or loose leaf, to enhance their visual appeal and aging potential.
- Drying: The shaped leaves are carefully dried to reduce moisture content, stabilize the flavor, and prepare them for fermentation.
- Fermentation: The dried leaves undergo fermentation. Raw Pu'er is aged naturally over years, developing complex flavors, while Ripe Pu'er is fermented through a controlled piling process to accelerate aging and produce a rich, mellow flavor.
Each step is meticulously controlled to achieve the desired quality and characteristics of the finished Pu'er tea.
Organic certification and testing
All our teas are organic certified and tested for pesticides, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards. We steadfastly reject the use of artificial flavors and concentrated aromas. Our approach to creating flavored and blended teas is deeply intentional, involving the in-house selection and combination of each ingredient. Our commitment extends to using only organically certified, whole spices, deliberately avoiding grinding them into fine powders. This choice ensures our teas remain pure and clear, as finely ground spices can release excessive power into the brew, compromising its clarity. The essence of our fruit flavors comes from organic essential oils, obtained through cold press technology to preserve the natural qualities without the degradation that can occur with heat. Proudly, every ingredient in Nannuo Pop is organically certified, embodying our unwavering commitment to purity and quality, without exceptions. This commitment to quality and safety reflects our dedication to providing the best possible product to our customers, with a focus on health and environmental sustainability.
