What is Pu-erh Chai Iced Tea?

Pu-erh tea is quite different from other tea varieties. It gets its name from the province in China where it was harvested for the first time. It is made from a variety of tea plant that has good-sized leaves.

Pu-erh tea is a green tea, but after it has ripened, it has been mistaken for a type of black tea because of its color and how the tea looks after it is brewed. Pu-erh chai tea is made from aged tea leaves, and the resulting tea liquor is a beautiful dark color.

The spices in Pu-erh chai iced tea are usually cinnamon bark and cardamom pods, and some also contain ginger root, star anise, black pepper and cloves. These are combined for a tantalizingly delectable brew that seems to be even more flavorful, if that is possible, when prepared and served as iced tea. Pu-erh tea has been subjected to a number of scientific studies, and it has been shown to have health benefits that cannot be claimed by other varieties of tea.

Pu-erh iced tea helps the digestion, especially if you have eaten fatty foods. It seems that the metabolism of fat is improved after partaking of Pu-erh. It also is believed to help your cholesterol levels to go down. Some people have also claimed that Pu-erh tea will cause you to lose weight if a glass of it is taken after every meal.
