Pu erh tea (Sea Dyke Brand, buy 1 get 1 free )

Pu-erh tea, pur tea, Pu Erh Tea, or Puerh tea. Pu-erh or Puer tea is a fermented tea, named after Pu'er county in Yunnan, China. It is an unusual tea, because unlike other teas which are consumed shortly after production, it can be over 50 years old and is usually aged at least 1-4 years. Over this time it acquires an earthy flavour due to fermentation (not the oxidation used for oolong or black teas). This leads to Pu-erh having the unique trait among tea varieties of not losing its qualities after a year or two and of being classified by connoisseurs by year of production.

Pu erh Tea is believed that it promotes healthy weight loss by boosting the metabolism and aiding the body to digest fatty foods. In Cantonese culture, pu-erh is known as po-lay, bo-lay tea, or bo-nay tea, and is often drunk during dim sum meals with family and friends.

"It is said that Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) buys Pu-erh tea in Madrid and drinks it when she wants to drop a few pounds or maintain her current slim build. Joss Stone and Jerry Hall are said to be among the fans of Pu'Erh Tea too.

According to a spokesman at the store quoted by Now magazine, they advised Victoria to drink Pu-erh three times a day for three months and watch the weight drop off. After three months, it is possible to maintain the desired weight by drinking one cup per way."
