The history of Pu'er Tea is long and rich, unfolding like a splendid and colorful scroll.

As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Pu people began cultivating tea on the mystical lands of Yunnan, quietly initiating the source of Pu'er tea's history. By the Three Kingdoms period, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han dynasty actively developed the southwest region, and his initiatives greatly promoted the production of tea in Yunnan, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of Pu'er tea.

During the Tang Dynasty, Fan Que recorded in his work “The Book of the Barbarians” that “tea is produced in the mountains around Yinzhou City,” which became the earliest precious written record about the production area of Pu'er tea, allowing later generations to understand the range of its origin at that time. Entering the Song dynasty, Yunnan tea officially began to be traded as a commodity, with its economic value gradually becoming prominent.

In the Ming dynasty, the term “Pu'er tea” took on significant meaning and formally entered historical records. The famous medical scholar Li Shizhen clearly documented in “Compendium of Materia Medica” that “Pu'er tea is produced in Pu'er, Yunnan,” further enhancing the renown of Pu'er tea. In the Qing dynasty, Pu'er tea was highly esteemed and became a rare tribute item for the imperial court, with its influence reaching unprecedented heights.

In modern times, accompanied by the flourishing tea trade, the reputation of Pu'er tea has risen steadily, like sesame flowers blooming. In 2007, Pu'er tea even became one of China's three hottest buzzwords of the year, reflecting its level of attention.

Today, Pu'er tea enjoys a high reputation both domestically and internationally, cherished by many enthusiasts and consumers. It is not just an ordinary beverage but also a shining gem in Chinese Tea culture, carrying profound historical and cultural connotations spanning centuries. Throughout the long river of time, Pu'er tea, with its unique charm, tells stories of the past and looks forward to a brilliant future, continuously emitting an enchanting glow.
