Itiye le-Pu-erh livela esifundazweni saseChina iYunnan futhi liqanjwe ngedolobha eliseningizimu yesifundazwe. Amatiye alo mndeni aziswa kakhulu eShayina, futhi izimfihlo zokukhiqiza azidalulwa futhi zidluliselwa ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane kuphela. Sazi kuphela ukuthi amaqabunga aqoqwe omisiwe elangeni (le ndlela i-puer maocha etholakala ngayo), bese ivutshiwe futhi icindezelwe ngosizo lwamatshe amakhulu amaqebelengwane noma izitini. I-Pu-erh yenziwa ngendlela efanayo neyetiye elimnyama nama-oolong. Amanzi abilisiwe, bese kuthi amaqabunga etiye athululwe ngamanzi amancane futhi ngemva kwemizuzwana engu-10 amanzi akhishwe. Le nqubo elula "ivula" amaqabunga. Ngemuva kwalokho, amaqabunga athululelwa ngamanzi amaningi futhi itiye livunyelwe ukuphuza (imizuzu emi-5). Kubalulekile ukuthi ungalivezi ngokweqile itiye, kungenjalo lizoba muncu. Ngokuya ngohlobo lwe-pu-erh, umbala wetiye eliphekiwe ungaba ophuzi ophuzi, osagolide, obomvu noma omnyama. Ezinye izinhlobo ze-pu-erh zibukeka njengekhofi ngemva kokuphuza futhi zinephunga elicebile, elinomhlaba, kodwa zenqatshwa ochwepheshe betiye. Kukholakala ukuthi lena i-pu-erh yekhwalithi ephansi. Amaqabunga etiye ekhwalithi ephezulu angaphindwa izikhathi eziningi. Abathandi betiye bathi ngokuphiswa ngakunye okulandelayo, ukunambitheka kwetiye kuphumelela kuphela. Manje mayelana nezinzuzo ze-pu-erh. Ngenxa yokuthi iyitiye eline-oxidized, iqukethe ama-antioxidants ambalwa kakhulu kunetiye elimhlophe neluhlaza, kodwa amaShayina ayaziqhenya nge-pu-erh futhi athi ikhuthaza ukulahlekelwa isisindo, yehlisa amazinga e-cholesterol egazini, futhi inenzuzo ohlelweni lwenhliziyo. Ucwaningo oluncane olwenziwe ku-pu-erh kuze kube manje, ngakho asazi ukuthi lezi zimangalo ziyiqiniso kangakanani. I-Puerh iyasiza ngempela amazinga e-cholesterol ephansi kanye nobungozi besifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, ngokusho kocwaningo oluthile, kodwa azikho izifundo zabantu ezenziwe. E-China, ucwaningo lwamagundane lwango-2009 lwenziwa futhi lwathola ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-pu-erh kwehle amazinga e-cholesterol “embi” (LDL) kanye ne-triglycerides kanye namazinga akhuphuka e-cholesterol “enhle” (HDL) ezilwaneni ngemuva kokudla i-puerh extract. Kodwa siyazi kwezinye izifundo ukuthi zonke izinhlobo zetiye zinciphisa ingozi yesifo senhliziyo nomdlavuza. Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe, lokhu kusebenza naku-pu-erh.
Ngingumlandeli omkhulu wekhwalithi ye-pu-erh. Ngibe nenhlanhla yokunambitha ezinye zezinhlobonhlobo zaleli tiye ngenkathi ngihamba e-China - ngivele ngajabula! Ngenhlanhla, manje ungathenga i-pu-erh yekhwalithi ephezulu hhayi e-China kuphela! Kunconywe kakhulu. Andrew Weil, MD : drweil.com : Lakshmi
