Description

Pu’er Tea: An Indispensable Part of China’s 5,000-Year Cultural History

The history of Pu’er tea dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD), when ancient inhabitants of Yunnan began harvesting wild tea leaves.

During the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, Pu’er tea became a vital medium for frontier governance through the “Tea-Horse Trade” with Tibet and other regions. In the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolians introduced Pu’er tea to Russia, marking the start of its international journey.

By the Yongzheng era (1729) of the Qing Dynasty, imperial tribute tea fields were established, elevating Pu’er tea to royal tribute status and its golden age. The Qianlong-era plaque “Tribute to the Heavenly Dynasty” affirmed its prestige, while the Tea Horse Road trade flourished, exporting it to Tibet, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Pu’er tea’s post-fermentation特性 grants it the “more aged, more fragrant” quality. Qing royalty regarded it as “drinkable antique,” and today it symbolizes both consumption and collectible value.

Traditional Chinese medicine credits Pu’er with “aiding digestion and cutting greasiness,” while modern studies confirm its lipid-lowering and antioxidant effects. This health legacy secures its unique role in contemporary tea culture.

The craftsmanship of Pu’er (tribute tea) is a National Intangible Cultural Heritage. In 2022, UNESCO inscribed it on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

In 2004, Fuhua Pu’er Raw Tea Brick was widely recognized for its excellent quality and was included in China’s authoritative tea magazine Xinsheng Pu’er.
