The Tea here refers to the chinese green tea. Puer is not some normal green tea. Actually the normal green tea is some loose tea dry leaves. But Puer looks some solid bounded together leaves. So each time you drink it, yo have to cut some off. I agree with its magic medical properties, appetite ssuppressant, weight loss and lowering blood pressure. And its smell is really good.
ZHUHAI, China -- In this booming economy, the latest investment fad has everything to do with the price of tea in China.
More precisely, it has to do with the price of puer.
A type of tea commonly pressed into Frisbee-shaped cakes, puer (pronounced "poo-ahr"), was long the domain of a small group of tea collectors. Earlier this year, speculators discovered the tea, driving up its value.
Puer, with a medicinal flavor and smoky aftertaste, improves with age unlike other teas that grow stale. Sellers claim it aids weight loss and lowers blood pressure.
