Product Description
Pu Erh tea comes from Yun Nan Province. The tea leaves are dried, steamed and pressed into various shapes. Then they are stored to go through a natural gentle aging process that is called post fermentation. Pu Erh facilitates digestion and is used to reduce body fat. It is considered in Asia to be very beneficial to the cardiovascular system.*
Flavor: Rich full bodied dark tea with robust earthy flavor and mellow woodsy note
Directions:Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting.
In a Desktop Botanical Garden™ Glass Tea & Elixir Maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the Elixir Maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted.

Usage
The lid is made of high quality bamboo wood, with BPA-free silicone ring seal. Remove the lid before heating in the microwave or steamer. You may cover the glassware with a paper towel (for microwave) to prevent splatters.
Avoid sudden drastic temperature changes.
Do not subject the glassware to direct heat sources such as on the stovetop, under the broiler, or on a grill.
Do not heat empty or almost empty glassware in the microwave.
Do not let hot glassware get in contact with wet or cool surfaces, or cold glassware with hot surfaces. Place it on a dry cloth, a potholder, a wooden stand, or a cooling rack.
Allow the glassware to come to room temperature before placing it in the microwave, refrigerator, freezer or water.
Do not use browning wrappers or bags that concentrate heat in certain areas in the microwave. This can cause uneven heating and possibly breakage.
When placing the glassware in the freezer, if it contains liquid, leave some room for the liquid to expand during freezing.
