For those on the quest for exceptional flavors, tea lovers are tirelessly experimenting. It’s thanks to this creativity that ripe Pu-erh tea can now be enjoyed in richer and more diverse ways—some of which even help reduce issues like tea drunkenness or low blood sugar!

1. Ripe Pu-erh with Melon Medley

Brew ripe Pu-erh with boiling water. Peel and dice papaya and cantaloupe, then add them to the tea. The light fragrance of papaya and the sweetness of cantaloupe blend harmoniously with the rich aroma of Pu-erh, creating a delightful flavor and vibrant color.

2. Pu-erh C+C

Add a splash of lemon juice and a bit of brown sugar to freshly brewed ripe Pu-erh. The rich tea aroma, paired with a sweet and tangy note, offers a unique taste. Both lemon and Pu-erh tea are known for their hydrating and refreshing benefits.

3. Honey-infused Pu-erh

Allow brewed ripe Pu-erh to cool slightly before stirring in honey. This combination is sweet but not cloying, with both ingredients packed with nutrients. The mild nature of ripe Pu-erh counteracts any potential stomach irritation from honey. Since boiling water can degrade honey’s benefits, it’s best added to cooled tea for a perfect balance of deep tea flavor and honeyed sweetness.

4. Jujube Ripe Pu-erh

After steeping ripe Pu-erh 7-8 times, add two jujubes and simmer together. The result is an exceptionally rich and satisfying brew.

5. Chrysanthemum Ripe Pu-erh

Steep chrysanthemum flowers with ripe Pu-erh leaves. Chrysanthemum offers a cooling effect, while Pu-erh’s warmth makes this blend ideal for autumn and winter, with a refreshingly light taste.

6. Floral Ripe Pu-erh

Enhance ripe Pu-erh with roses, jasmine, osmanthus, or lavender. Alongside the tea’s aged fragrance, you’ll enjoy the floral aroma. These flowers each bring their own health benefits, making this infusion a nourishing delight.
