Puerh (pū-ĕr) is an ancient healing tea known for its medicinal properties and rich taste. Numi’s organic pu∙erh comes from 500-year-old, wild tea trees grown in China’s Yunnan Mountains. Unlike traditional teas that are oxidized over an 8-hour period, pu∙erh undergoes a unique 60-day fermentation process resulting in a bold, earthy flavor with hints of malt. This rich, energizing tea is deeply satisfying as a coffee alternative.
Pu-erh tea is prized for its potential health benefits. Pu-erh tea is fermented introducing healthy probiotics or beneficial gut bacteria into the body.
These antioxidant flavonoids have been shown to reduce bad LDL cholesterol while increasing good HDL cholesterol, thus improving overall heart health.

Our teabags are compostable and made from manila hemp cellulose (plant fiber). They are Non-GMO Verified, unbleached, and the tag is made from 100% recycled materials and soy-based inks. Our tea strings are made from cotton.
Numi’s tea bag wrappers* are commercially compostable (ASTM D6868 compliant/3rd party certification in progress). They are made from sustainably grown FSC® certified paper, and lined with sugarcane-based Non-GMO PLA and metalized eucalyptus layers to ensure freshness. Our plant-based wrappers have been tested to make sure they completely disintegrate and cause no eco-toxicity when they break down. You can compost the wrappers with any municipal or industrial service that accepts green waste (throw them in your green can). Unfortunately, due to the compostable freshness lining, the wrappers are not recyclable.
*with the exception of some Gunpowder Green and Jasmine Green
We are asked all the time how many milligrams of caffeine are in a particular cup of tea, and the honest answer is: we don’t know for sure! The environment each year, location of the bush, processing style and method of steeping all has an effect on the amount in your cup. This is why we only provide a range. We use the lower, medium, and high caffeine labeling on our packages based on past tests and the proportion of tea to ingredients in each blend. A 6 to 8 ounce cup of tea generally contains between 15 and 70 milligrams of caffeine. Remember, 8 ounces of brewed coffee has a range of 95-200mg, so you can be sure that your cup of tea will always be lower in caffeine.
Climate Neutral Certified is the leading independent climate action label. It gives you a way to find companies that are actively working toward a net-zero future. Demand action from all companies, and help us make carbon accountability the new normal.
Carbon neutrality means achieving a balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere.
Achieving carbon neutrality, or climate neutrality - which counts other greenhouse gases in addition to carbon dioxide - can help accelerate the world on its path to net-zero by 2050. That's the target year for getting all of human civilization to a point where our emissions have been reduced below the amount that is absorbed through natural and man-made carbon sinks.
People have been talking about climate change for decades and doing very little about it, so the issue is more important than ever. All of the recent science suggests that we're approaching a point of no return on climate change - and political, economic, and social systems are not responding quickly enough. Humanity's decisions in the next 10 years will determine, more than ever before, how our climate changes and the extent of its impacts over the next century and beyond.
Although our brand has a new look, our ingredients, blends and recipes have not changed.

"Emperor's Puerh is one of my favorite teas. It's a full-bodied tea and has earthy tones. It's heavy enough to replace your morning coffee with a good dose of caffeine. But the way it makes me feel after drinking a cup far exceeds its taste. I noticed health benefits after drinking it daily for several months and just physically feel better."
"Tastes great. Ruch and fully bodied black tea. Absolute delight"
"Emperor's Pu-erh tea is my favorite drink before bed. The flavor is rich, but not bitter regardless of how log I leave the tea bag in."
"Delicious tea delivered very quickly."
"Emperor's Puerh tea enhances my day. The taste of this tea is superb and I appreciate that it's produced in a fair trade arrangement. Thank you to the growers, harvesters, packagers and to Numi. Sometimes I like to mix Emperor's Puerh with English Breakfast tea, half and half; as both flavors blend together to create yet another sublime flavor."
"Starts off my work day , love it."
"Wonderful flavor. Unique but classic in a way."
"I've been a die hard Numi Earl Grey girl for years. When I placed my last order I decided to throw in a box of the Emperor's Puerh just to try and I found myself reaching for it every morning! I tried to go back my beloved Earl Grey, but found myself wanting this instead. When I finished the first box I came back and ordered six more. I think I may be a permanent convert."
"Rich and hearty, I read it helps cholesterol"
"We love it. I don’t drink coffee so Emperor’s Pu-erh is our morning hot drink. We tell our tea drinkers to try it. You won’t be sorry."
