Decaf Yunnan Pu'erh

Decaf Yunnan Pu’erh represents a new era in Pu’er tea, created at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern health-conscious innovation. Using sun-dried raw tea from large-leaf tea trees in Yunnan’s renowned regions such as Xishuangbanna and Lincang, this tea preserves the essential character of Pu’er—its ability to evolve and improve with age—while offering a gentler, low-caffeine experience accessible to more tea drinkers.

The foundation of this tea lies in its high-quality raw material. Fresh leaves are processed through the classic Pu’er steps of withering, fixation, rolling, and sun-drying, preserving a rich reserve of tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, amino acids, and aroma precursors. This ensures full potential for fermentation and depth of flavor. Decaffeination occurs before fermentation, using a new generation of low-temperature physical extraction technologies such as supercritical CO₂ or chilled-water separation. Conducted at 30–50 °C, this method removes over 90% of caffeine while protecting delicate aromatic compounds and preserving the microbial communities—like Aspergillus niger and beneficial yeasts—essential for Pu’er’s signature post-fermentation and long-term aging value.

After decaffeination, the tea continues through traditional Pu’er fermentation, whether in pressed cakes or loose-leaf pile fermentation. Temperature, humidity, and timing are carefully controlled to allow full microbial transformation, resulting in a tea that is mellow, rich, and authentically Pu’er—decaffeinated without compromising flavor or quality.

The aroma of Decaf Pu’erh reveals a layered profile: a calm aged aroma supported by honey-sweet accents. When brewed, notes of jujube, pure fungal sweetness, woody undertones, and a touch of longan appear, transitioning smoothly from depth to elegance. The liquor is silky, smooth, and gently sweet, offering the classic mellowness of Pu’er without the bitterness or throat irritation some drinkers experience. Even with long infusions, it remains clean and soft, with a lingering aged aftertaste that encourages continued sipping.

With its greatly reduced caffeine, this tea is suitable for sensitive drinkers, pregnant women, the elderly, and anyone seeking a relaxing evening tea. It maintains the antioxidant and digestive benefits of Pu’er and adapts beautifully to multiple drinking styles—on its own, blended with milk, or paired with dried tangerine peel or red dates. Thanks to preserved microorganisms and internal substances, its aging potential remains fully intact, allowing it to mature gracefully over the years.

Decaf Yunnan Pu’erh is an innovative bridge between tradition and modern wellness—rich in heritage, gentle in energy, and crafted for a broader, more mindful tea experience.
