Flavored Pu-erh Tea

In the past, Pu-erh tea was known as "tea for the elderly," and today it is called "tea for women." One of the reasons for Pu-erh tea's great popularity is its health benefits.
According to research, tea was introduced to Tibet during the Tubo Regime. Living at an altitude above 3,000m.
Tibetans lead a nomadic life, subsisting on beef, roasted qingke barley flour and highland barley, with very little vegetable and fruit. Tea with rich vitamins helps break down excessive fat in the human body. The importance of tea is evident in such Tibetan sayings as "Man can live without food for three days but can't live even one day without tea,""One day without tea gives man loose bowels and three days without tea makes him sick," and "Tea is blood! Tea is meat! Tea is life!" Buttered tea made from dark tea liquid helps Tibetans endure the tough environment on the plateau. In other words, buttered tea are complete meals for them.
Tea is not only indispensable to Tibetans, but also suitable for the modern city people who enjoy Pu-erh tea benefits for regulating body fat and digestion.
