Shu puer is a black tea with a velvety taste and earthy aroma. Its name is translated as "ready, mature". The product's homeland is the Chinese province of Yunnan. Legend has it that the cart in which the pressed tea was being carried to the emperor got caught in the rain, and all the cakes got wet. Despite this, the subjects still brewed a drink for the ruler. To their surprise, the monarch approved of the tea, because the drink revealed its taste properties to an even greater extent.
Initially, shu puer was conceived as an alternative to sheng puer, which is produced much faster. However, the tea immediately gained popularity among the population and became an independent drink. The technology of artificial aging gives the tea specific qualities of taste and aroma. The infusion acquires a rich color, which can be golden-brown or even black. The tea is not transparent, when poured into a cup, it does not allow you to see its bottom.

The process of obtaining shu puer is divided into several stages:
- Withering of leaves. Occurs in the air under the open sun.
- Roasting and twisting.
- Fermentation. This is done in an accelerated mode by stacking. First, the raw materials are piled up, then moistened and covered to allow them to rot. The leaves are stirred once every seven days. Under these conditions, the microorganisms begin to actively reproduce and start fermenting the tea. The entire process takes up to three months, while the traditional method allows you to get a fermented product only after several years.
- Drying and sorting of shu puer. The raw material is dried and disinfected. Then the sifting procedure is carried out mechanically. Finally, the product is sorted manually.
