The largest tea range in the world, Alveus

The name Pu-erh is the denomination of origin for red teas from the Yunnan province. There are other red teas that are harvested in other provinces and countries that follow the same maturation process and achieve very interesting varieties of red tea, though they are less well known.

The special fermentation and aging process of the tea gives it its typical dark color and spicy, earthy flavor.
