Arcane
Aged Shou Puerh Tuo Cha 2010
- Description
- Brewing Instructions
Flavors of Chinese herbs, ginseng, coffee, and slight sweet camphor aftertaste, transform into a nice structured mild astringency in later steepings. The billowing energy leaves you feeling awake and calm. I’ve always loved shou puerh from Bulang Mountain for it’s robust, refined, full-bodied flavor and strong settling energy. This tea reminds me of old shops in Taiwan, surrounded by antiques and day dreaming of older times.
The name Arcane refers to the depth, darkness and mysteriousness of this tea. Produced in a remote part of southwestern Yunnan, Xishuangbanna borders Myanmar and Laos. Buddhist temples and tropical rainforests are scattered across the landscape. Through the tea, try and connect with the land where it comes from.
Origin: Bulang Mountain, Yunnan, China 2010
From the 2024 Autumn Seasonal Tea Club

Benefits of Puerh Tea
For thousands of years, Puerh has been the best multi-functional beverage you've never heard of.
Stress Relief
Puerh tea contains the phyto-chemicals GABA and theanine, which have been attributed to lower stress levels. These phyto-chemicals increase the production of melatonin, which can aid in better sleep and a calmer demeanor throughout the day.
Calm Energy
Thanks to the caffeine in Puerh tea, drinking a cup a day can help to increase your energy levels and focus. Every 8-ounce cup of Puerh contains about 60 to 70 milligrams of caffeine, and the naturally-occurring polyphenols in tea slow the release of caffeine in the body. (Read: No 2pm crash.) Compared to the 105 milligrams in a standard cup of coffee, this makes Puerh a good choice for people who find themselves too jittery after just one cup of coffee.
Increased Immunity
Puerh tea is high in antioxidants, vitamin C, and disease-fighting
catechins. Since Puerh is fermented, it has higher concentrations of these antioxidants than non-fermented teas, supporting your body's ability to maintain high levels of immunity and overall well-being.
Reduced Inflammation
Puerh contains high levels of polyphenols (flavonoids, catechins and theaflavin), which are not only known for their antioxidant activity, but their anti-inflammatory properties as well.
Healthy Gut Microbiome
Because Puerh is fermented, it contains probiotics that when consumed regularly, contribute to a balanced and robust gastrointestinal (GI) system. By regularly drinking Puerh tea, you can help maintain healthy flora throughout your digestive system.
