Initially, most people thought tea drinking was a culinary tradition meant to make people relax. However, science has since proven that it has numerous health benefits. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the many types of tea that people are leaning towards for its extensive list of health benefits is puer tea. Although it is prevalent in China and Taiwan, most people elsewhere are just learning of it and adding it to their diet plan.

It is made from the leaves and steams of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camelia Sinensis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camelia theifera <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camelia the plant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is the same plant used to prepare <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/oolong-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">oolong<\/a>, black, and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/green-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">green tea<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/what_is_pu-erh_tea_good_for\/article.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, it has also been dubbed black Chinese tea. However, its method of preparation slightly differs. It tends to be fermented. After harvesting the leaves from this plant, they are fermented and stored longer under high humidity in a process known as aging (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/what_is_pu-erh_tea_good_for\/article.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The method is also different from that used to prepare other fermented teas like kombucha. The expectation is that the longer it takes fermenting in the aging process, the better it should taste. Although this tea is native to the Yunnan district in southwestern China, it has also become <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lavender-chamomile-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">famous in Taiwan<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Puer_Tea_Health_Benefits\"><\/span><b>Puer Tea Health Benefits<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking puer tea has been linked to several <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/black-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">health benefits<\/a>, which include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mental_Alertness\"><\/span><b>Mental Alertness<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking puer tea may result in increased mental alertness because of its high caffeine content. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system, heart, and muscles, promoting more arousal, alertness, and focus (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-1169\/pu-erh-tea\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Reduc_Cholesterol_Levels_In_The_Blood\"><\/span><b>May Reduc Cholesterol Levels In The Blood<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puer tea contains small amounts of a chemical known as lovastatin that lowers cholesterol levels in your blood (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-1169\/pu-erh-tea\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Lovastatin is a prescription medication sometimes used to treat high cholesterol. We earlier mentioned that during the fermentation process, bacteria might attack this tea. Well, it turns out these bacteria may do some good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is believed that these bacteria sometimes produce lovastatin during their life cycle. Animal research suggests that puer tea may help lower triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol, but it is not yet known if it has the same effect in humans. Reduced cholesterol levels in the blood are paramount as it reduces the risk of several diseases. These are coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Puer_Tea_Facts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37548 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4740-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"puer tea\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4740-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4740-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4740-1.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4740-1.png 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/white-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">White Tea Facts, Health Benefits And Side Effects<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Weight Loss<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a running theory that puer tea benefits weight loss. So, most people who aim at shedding pounds often add this tea to their diet plan. But is this the case? Well, to answer this, let us evaluate one study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, researchers conducted a study to evaluate the effects of taking puer tea extract daily on body weight, body fat composition, and lipid profile (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4818050\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

During this time, the researchers observed the changes, including appetite and physical and mental energy changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 20 weeks, researchers discovered that consumption of the extract had significantly contributed to weight loss compared to placebo. In addition, participants noticed fat loss in their hips, belly, arms, and legs (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4818050\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were also improvements in the lipid profile and a reduction in the cholesterol levels and body mass index for the tea extract group (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4818050\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
