No ka ʻāina ʻo Yunnan ʻo Kina a ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ma hope o ke kūlanakauhale ma ka hema o ka panalāʻau. Koi nui ʻia nā kī o kēia ʻohana ma Kina, a ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia nā mea huna o ka hana ʻana a hāʻawi wale ʻia mai kēlā hanauna i kēia hanauna. ʻIke wale mākou ua maloʻo nā lau i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i ka lā (peia ka loaʻa ʻana o ka puer maocha), a laila fermented a kaomi ʻia me ke kōkua o nā pōhaku nui i loko o nā keke a i ʻole nā pōhaku. Hana ʻia ʻo Pu-erh e like me nā kī ʻeleʻele a me nā kī oolong. Hoʻomoʻa ʻia ka wai, a laila ninini ʻia nā lau kī me kahi wai liʻiliʻi a ma hope o 10 kekona e hoʻokahe ʻia ka wai. ʻO kēia kaʻina hana maʻalahi "wehe" i nā lau. Ma hope o kēlā, ninini ʻia nā lau me ka nui o ka wai a ʻae ʻia ke kī e brew (5 mau minuke). He mea nui ʻaʻole e hōʻike nui i ke kī, i ʻole e ʻawaʻawa ia. Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka pu-erh, hiki ke waihoʻoluʻu ke kala o ke kī brewed he ʻeleʻele melemele, gula, ʻulaʻula a ʻeleʻele paha. ʻO kekahi mau ʻano pu-erh e like me ke kofe ma hope o ka hana ʻana a loaʻa ka ʻono momona, akā ua hōʻole ʻia lākou e nā mea ʻike kī. Manaʻo ʻia he pu-erh haʻahaʻa kēia. Hiki ke inu ʻia nā lau kī kiʻekiʻe i nā manawa he nui. Wahi a ka poʻe aloha kī, me kēlā me kēia hoʻoinu ʻana, lanakila wale ka ʻono o ke kī. I kēia manawa e pili ana i nā pono o ka pu-erh. No ka mea, he kī oxidized, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā antioxidants ma mua o ke kī keʻokeʻo a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, akā haʻaheo ka poʻe Kina i ka pu-erh a ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hoʻoikaika i ka pohō kaumaha, hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka cholesterol koko, a he pono no ka ʻōnaehana cardiovascular. Ua hana ʻia ka noiʻi liʻiliʻi ma pu-erh a hiki i kēia lā, no laila ʻaʻole maopopo mākou i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kēia mau ʻōlelo. Kōkua ʻo Puerh i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i nā pae cholesterol a me ka pilikia o ka maʻi cardiovascular, e like me kekahi mau noiʻi, akā ʻaʻole i hana ʻia nā noiʻi kanaka. Ma Kina, ua hana ʻia kahi noiʻi ʻiole i ka makahiki 2009 a ua ʻike ʻia ua hoʻemi ka pu-erh extract i nā pae o ka "kino" cholesterol (LDL) a me nā triglycerides a me nā kiʻekiʻe o ka "maikaʻi" cholesterol (HDL) i nā holoholona ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka puerh extract. Akā ʻike mākou mai nā haʻawina ʻē aʻe e hōʻemi ana nā ʻano kī a pau i ka pilikia o ka maʻi puʻuwai a me ka maʻi kanesa. No laila, pili paha kēia i ka pu-erh.
Nui wau i ka pu-erh maikaʻi. Laki wau i ka ʻono ʻana i kekahi o nā ʻano nani o kēia kī i koʻu huakaʻi ʻana i Kina - ʻoliʻoli wale wau! ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka pu-erh kiʻekiʻe ʻaʻole wale ma Kina! Manaʻo nui. Andrew Weil, MD : drweil.com : Lakshmi
