About Us

Puerh Northwest is a new website as of April 1, 2025. I would ask for your patience and consideration during this rollout period.  Thank you. 

Background:

I'm a Puerh enthusiast whose tea collection has grown substantially over the years. I've grown too old to be buying newly harvested teas for long-term aging and it's time to offer my collection to others who share an appreciation of Puerh.

Philosophy:

I believe in honesty and integrity and will do my best to treat everyone with respect.  We should all try to do as much.  I'm not a tea guru and will not try to tell anyone what they should like or dislike.  We each experience tea somewhat differently and you should buy and drink teas that you personally enjoy.  Aways buy samples before thinking about purchasing a full cake or tong of any tea.

Storage:

Because I have a large Puerh collection I've had a vested interest in seeing it age well.  I keep my teas in a dedicated humidified room with HEPPA air filtration maintained as close as possible to 70 degrees F and 70% RH.  Everyone has their own opinions about proper storage.  I've done my best to allow my teas to age gracefully, and I believe they have.

Possible Health Benefits of Puerh Tea:

I've read the reports on the health benefits of Puerh tea.  They may be right.  I've been drinking Puerh tea every day for a very long time and if all the suggested benefits of Puerh are true I would expect to be at least 10 years younger by now.  Puerh is great tea and I hope you will all enjoy the nuanced experience it offers as much as I have.
