Pu-erh tea (sometimes spelled "Puerh tea" or "Puer tea") was a namesake specialty of Puer Prefecture - a region in the southern part of Yunnan Province. In ancient times tea produced in this region was traded at Puer, and eventually the tea itself acquired this name. In order to preserve tea and to facilitate its trade with merchants travelling the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, a method was developed which led to the steaming of Pu-erh tea and then compressing it into various shapes - usually a type of bowl shape or a "brick". This type of tea is known as Tuocha. The word "Tuocha" sometimes spelled "Tuo Cha" or "Tuo Tea", the meaning is block of tea.
Tuocha tea can also be known by different names such as "bing cha" (or "beeng cha" or "ping cha"), and "fang cha". These names simply refer to the type of shape into which the tuocha is pressed - eg bing cha is "biscuit shaped" and fang cha is "square shaped".
In recent years, Yunnan Tuocha tea has been researched for helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Clinical researches proved that Yunnan Tuocha tea is more efficacious than clofibrate (an efficient fat-reducing medicine) in reducing the lipid level. Besides, the tea causes no side effects. It is also highly reputed as "slimming tea", "beauty tea" and "healthy tea" in more than twenty countries and regions including France, Spain, Japan and so on.
In Yunnan, there are so many tea plantations, there is no doubt that the most famous region for cultivating Pu-erh tea is Menghai, then Xiaguan, where the traditional Pu-erh tea manufacturing method was born. Also, we cannot ignore the Pu-erh tea from Simao, Lincang, Dali, Dehong. The taste of Pu-erh tea is different from area to area. This variation of the flavor comes from many factors such as climate, weather and the environment. Xiaguan's Tuo, Menghai's Beeng, the meaning is Xiaguan factory famous for Tuocha, and Menghai factory famous for Beengcha, and eventually people prefer buy Cooked (Shu) Pu-erh tea which from Menghai or Dehong area, whereas buy raw (Shen) Pu-erh tea which from Simao, Lincang, Dali area.
There are also so many Pu-erh tea factories in Yunnan. If you visit anywhere local in Yunnan, you may find all kinds of Pu-erh tea, including Tuocha, Pu-erh Brick, Pu-erh Cake and more. The most of these Pu-erh tea have been produced by dedicated factories and contributed to the people in the region for living healthy. Unfortunately, some of small factories produced bad quality even fake Menghai Pu-erh tea and Xiaguan Pu-erh tea due to the increasing demand, sometimes you could hardly distinguish between authentic Pu-erh and fake Pu-erh, just actually the fake "Menghai" Pu-erh or "Xiaguan" Pu-erh come from places outside Yunnan.
