  • In this RUclips video, we explore recent scientific research about the processing styles and human health benefits of Puer (or Pu-erh) Tea.
    Puer tea, also known as Pu-erh tea, is a type of fermented tea that originates from Yunnan province of China. Puer tea is made from the leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis, and it is distinguished from other types of tea by its unique fermentation process.
    Recent scientific research has shown that the processing styles of Puer tea can have different effects on its flavor profile and health-promoting properties. For example, some studies have found that raw Puer tea, which is made from unfermented tea leaves, has a higher antioxidant content than cooked Puer tea, which is made from partially fermented tea leaves.
    Other studies have found that Puer tea can have many potential health benefits, including improved cardiovascular function, enhanced weight loss, and reduced risk of certain types of cancer. These health benefits are attributed to the bioactive compounds in Puer tea, such as theanine, polyphenols, and caffeine.
    Overall, Puer tea is a complex and fascinating beverage that is rich in flavor and health-promoting properties. So be sure to watch this video to learn more about the processing styles and human health benefits of Puer tea, and how it compares to other types of tea.

    It's really interesting to note how this part of the research is closely connected with the traditional (word-of-mouth) wisdom of drinking Puer tea during/after meat & fat heavy meals as a way to help 'digest' and keep the body healthy & well-balanced. Thanks for taking the time to research, break-down and share this information - these videos are great for the tea drinking community.

      Hey Philip, thanks for this great comment - originally I had actually included a segment at the end where I touched on this very point, but I cut it because I thought the video was getting too long. The idea that you bring up is very interesting though - that Puer Tea has been consumed for centuries by frontier peoples in Tibet and Mongolia FOR the purpose of improving cardiovascular health. Who knows if they were aware of the lipid-lowering mechanisms, etc., but they certainly observed that Puer Tea effectively reduced cardiac events and improved overall lifespan and healthspan. Their diets largely comprised Yak meats, fatty animal products, and very little plant foods (due to climate conditions). Under such lifestyle conditions, the health effects of tea consumption were extremely noticeable, and the habit of daily tea consumption was thereby passed down for generations. Then, it only took us another thousand years to figure out HOW and WHY (i.e. the mechanisms of action) underlying the observed effects. One of the reasons I am fascinated by tea science is that you often get to see modern science confirming millennia-old traditional wisdom... which is pretty cool.
      Thanks again for your watching and commenting. I'm looking forward to meeting for tea in Guangzhou when I return (looking like around September).
      Cheers and Happy New Years ! 元旦快乐

Although the Pu Erh process reminds me of my mulch piles a week after the tree man drops it off. Love the fermented fragrance and steam as I'm shoveling and barrowing it around. I suppose the tea would turn to ash if not monitored properly.

    These videos are so great! It would be really interesting if you could do a video comparing/contrasting the health benefits of the different tea types and even strains (?) of a given tea type (e.g., green tea type A vs green tea type B).
    I'm guessing that the healthiest move is to consume a variety of teas.
    Another question - does it matter when you drink the tea (e.g., for lowering blood sugar, do you need to drink tea at the same time as when you eat the glucose containing food)?

  • @agatawrze
    @agatawrze 2 года назад +3

    I've been taking notes as I go while watching, because I tend to forget what I wanted to ask after I watch...
    1. Is the study about Shu or Sheng or both? If only aged sheng - how old is the threshold? You mentioned casually "ripe puer or aged raw puer", explained processing of both, but quotes from a study only mentioned "puer", plus as far as I've learnt those two are pretty different from each other...
    2. Anti-hypeglycaemic properties - lowering spikes in blood surar after a meal: I noticed that I don't get hit by a post-dinner coma on days I brew shu puerh right after. Is it just that thing in action?
    3. If one drinks tea only after a meal, does it really act so instatntly to affect the process of digesting the food just eaten? Breaking it down to the stage of lipid absorption may take long, but sugar level fluctuations are rather quick... Isn't it more like "regular puer consumption changes your metabolism to be better at dealing with fat/sugar"? The layman knowledge would be more that "there's no magic pill, natural remedies work only as prevention, and used over extended periods of time"...?

    • @wumountaintea
      @wumountaintea  2 года назад +7

      Hi Agata, thanks for the questions! I've tried my best to answer each one below;
      1. You're correct that Raw and Ripe Puer have very different chemical compositions. The REVIEW article encompassed studies on both Raw and Ripe Puer, and goes into great detail on some of the chemical differences between those two. The original RESEARCH article (which was reviewed WITHIN the review article) that discovered the MECHANISM of antihyperlipidemia effects in humans (involving gut microbiota and bile acid sensing) actually just used concentrated theabrownins extracted from Puer tea rather than Puer tea liquor or Puer tea extracts.
      2. Your relative lack of FOOD COMA (I love this phrase haha) after meals that were followed by Puer Tea consumption MAY be explained (at least in part) by the anti-hyperglycaemic effects of Puer Tea. Additionally, however, you can't ignore the possible role of CAFFEINE in Puer, which has well known psycho-stimulatory effects that could play a role in alleviating post-prandial comatose, also known as FOOD COMA. Here's a thought... see if you can't think of a mouse experiment that would be able to clarify the different relative contributions of caffeine versus theabrownins towards increasing energy levels after a high-sugar meal. We can test your hypothesis!
      3. The evidence that I have reviewed seems to suggest that there are effects of Puer intake that ARE immediate enough to affect sugar/fat absorption during digestion, which is not to say that it is a magic bullet. As a hypothetical example, Puer + Big Mac may decrease your fat/sugar uptake from the cheeseburger by 15/20% compared to Big Mac alone... however there is still 80/85% of a greasy cheeseburger sliding through you, and the relevant downstream negative effects on health would still apply (so... helpful, but not a silver bullet). In addition to these "short-term" effects on digestion, however, there is evidence to support more long-term effects of regular Puer intake on innate metabolic function (as you alluded to). One example of this that I mentioned in the video is the effects of Puer Tea consumption on the gut microbiome. Altering the composition of gut microbial communities does not occur immediately after consuming Puer, but rather is a shift that occurs over the scale of weeks and months. Once shifted, however, the effects of a healthier gut microbiome can be profound and long-lasting (even when Puer Tea wasn't consumed in the immediate past). For example, reduced populations of microbial communities that degrade primary bile acids into secondary bile acids (the effect of Puer Tea cited in the video) implies that even when Puer Tea was NOT consumed in recent hours (or even days), your microbiome and innate digestive sensing systems are ALREADY positioned at a relatively more cholesterol-catabolic (blood fat-degrading) baseline.
      I hope these responses were helpful :)

To me, It has a bit of a medicinal taste, which is why I was put off the first time I tried it.

    Very informative. I too am kind of a tea geek. I'm definitely not an expert but enjoy many types and am interested in their health benefits. I have been into jiaogulan in the last year and have discover the Thai variety is much sweeter, less bitter then the cheaper Chinese variety found in Canada where I am. Regarding pu erh, I've read some articles on the tea, linking it to firmer skin. These articles don't go into detail on how it achieves this. Have you heard of this phenomenon relating to puerh? If so, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. Good day.

    • @wumountaintea
      @wumountaintea  2 года назад +4

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Dieshelmon.
      There are a number of of researches suggesting that tea polyphenols can generally help to improve skin health through a variety of mechanisms, including the regulation of epidermal growth factors and the amelioration of skin photo-aging (skin cells exposed to UV radiation), through the free radical-scavenging and anti-inflammatory effects of tea polyphenols. However, in regards to skin FIRMNESS specifically, I am not sure. I am not an expert in skin health, and I do not really know how the element of firmness per se plays into the greater picture of skin health. However, if I were to speculate, I would say that Raw Puer Tea, which is highly abundant in tea catechins, would confer considerable anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, which, if consumed regularly over one's lifetime, would result in significant net reduction in skin damage caused by daily oxidative insults such as UV, air pollution, inflammatory food items, etc., and at the end of the day, that might present itself as less damaged, healthier, (firmer?) skin. That is my speculation, however I could not find any research articles specifically mentioning skin firmness in relation to tea phytonutrients. Let me know if you find anything, and I will take a look and maybe make a video about it!
      Thanks :)

    • @tydish
      @tydish 2 года назад +1

      @@wumountaintea Hey, thanks for your reply! I think your right about the catechins or polyphenols being the nutrients in pu erh that would be responsible for skin health. Other articles mentions skin's elasticity being protected by drinking it. As you refer to it having some UV protecting qualities, this is probably where they relate the tea to benefiting skin. High levels of UV exposure from the sun can damage the collagen in our skin which over time can give the skin a saggy wrinkled look. So I guess having some UV protection in turn might help with protection of collagen which would protect the skins elasticity, thus keeping your skin "firmer". Not sure how much effect Pu erh tea would have on this but every little bit helps I guess lol.

Sounds like ripe is what I need. :D I am concerned about the dirt taste. I want the benefits, but I need to be able to drink it. What can you tell me about the taste and how do you drink it? Thanks

    • @wumountaintea
      @wumountaintea  Год назад

      ahhhh the dirt taste, yes. that's pretty common in the ripe puer world. what you need is just a high quality organic ripe puer - those are going to be much more sweet and triple chocolatey in flavor and a lot less dirt-like. I have the perfect one for you right here: wumountaintea.com/product/organic-ripe-puer/
      In terms of how to drink it, ripe puer is actually the hardest tea to mess up. you just need boiling hot water and to infuse the leaves for at least a few minutes. depending on how long you steeped the tea the first round you can do anywhere from 2-4 re-infusions of the same leaves.
      Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Man that was a good explanation 👏 ... my question and hopefully in that study is addressed ? would be for the young raw puerh drinkers out there ... the tea being more like green tea in its benefits I'd believe but I am sure the divergence in the wok frying and steam processing probably starts a whole new chemical reaction and I'd love to hear a stage by stage health benefits model as it ages ... raw freaks gotta know I guess 🤷 I'll try and give that study a read tho thanks

      Thanks for the comment Herb.
      There's kind of two questions in there if I'm understanding you correctly; #1 is the differences created by Green Tea steaming Vs. Raw Puer Wok Firing. #2 is how the bioactive compounds in Raw Puer evolve and change over time, and how those age-associated changes create teas with different effects on human health.
      I'll start with question #1: Some differences we know for sure. Total catechin content, especially gallated catechins (EGCG, ECG, GCG), are going to be significantly higher in the green tea than the Raw Puer because of more complete denaturation of the tannase enzymes with higher-heat steaming. Right off the bat that would suggest more total antioxidant capacity of the Green Tea compared to Raw Puer. Total catechin content and composition therefore is likely going to be the biggest difference the two tea types. Caffeine won't change much. Amino acids won't change much (or maybe some would!). Polysaccharides will likely differ significantly, but we know much less about those. HERES THE IMPORTANT PART THOUGH (in my opinion): While you can run this experiment and see what happens, in reality Green Teas and Raw Puers are almost never made from the same cultivars or grown in the same climates. They are sometimes, but the vast majority of Green Teas in the world today are small- or medium-leaf cultivars from more northern latitudes, while Raw Puers are exclusively large leaf from Yu-know-where. This means that whatever differences might arise during processing (Steaming vs. Wok Firing) only represents a small fraction of total differences between the two teas due to different genetics and growing conditions. To sum, you COULD run an experiment to identify the differences between the same batch of leaves used to make either Green OR Raw Puer, and that experiment would be interesting - I would love to see it - almost certainly more catechins in the Green Tea, but what else would we find? Who knows. Let's do it. BUT, this experiment would not be highly representative of most Green Tea Vs. Raw Puer comparisons due to the typical genetic- and climate-based differences between these teas.
      Question #2 has been studied a bit before - its a fairly simple experiment. Like I mentioned before, one of the major changes with age is going to be that gallated catechins (EGCG, GCG, etc.) go down, Gallic Acid increases, amino acids will decrease a bit with age too. You can check out this abstract if you want, and there's others out there like it; www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0023643820309038
      In terms of health effects, it all depends on the experimental model. For example, the younger Raw Puer, with more EGCG and greater antioxidant capacity, would likely be more protective of animals exposed to highly oxidative agents (maybe cigarette smoke or air pollution). But the older Puers have unique bioactive molecules of their own that might be relatively more protective/beneficial under a different experimental model.
      Anyway, I like where your heads at. Let's keep in touch about Raw Puer stuff, and I'll try to send you interesting new articles when I come across them.
      Best,

      Thanks for the comment Robert. Regarding the potential negative effects of Puer Tea - caffeine could potentially pose an issue due to its effect on sleep latency when consumed too late in the day. That is the only NATURALLY-occurring Puer Tea compound that you should be wary of. Beyond that, all teas (or any agricultural product) have the potential for contaminants from agro-chemical applications (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides). The best way to avoid exposure to such chemicals would be to buy organic. Lastly, heavy metals have been detected in Puer tea samples, however such elements only accumulate within OLD tea leaves positioned further down the plant - they do not accumulate in young leaves and buds. Therefore, avoid buying low-grade Dark Teas, as these are typically produced from older leaf material (which you can identify by feeling the infused leaves - old leaves are rough and coarse to the touch), while higher grade Dark Teas are produced from buds and young leaves. In summary, the potential health risks associated with Puer Tea intake are largely avoidable by choosing higher end, organic Puer and drinking at times of the day that will not affect your sleep schedule.
      Hopefully this answered your question, and I greatly appreciate your concern for consumer health. Please don't hesitate to reach out with other tea questions you might encounter.

    very good video. only thing is that cholesterol is not the problem. LDL, HDL, trig ratios reflects your metabolism just like body temp and blood pressure. lowering it is not the main gold. getting the ratios optimal naturally is the best way.

    • @wumountaintea
      @wumountaintea  Год назад

      Thank you Robert! Lipid metabolism is one of my favorite topics in medical research. I agree with you that the objective of "lowering cholesterol" is an inaccurate, and at best, incomplete, metric if the goal is to reduce risk of death from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). From the research I have reviewed, the most critical blood lipid metric for reducing risk of death from ASCVD appears to be apoB concentration, that is the quantity, or particle count, of LDL molecules in the blood. I have been convinced (for the time being) that apoB is the best metric for quantifying ASCVD risk after reading the work of Alan Sniderman (recent work linked below). Feel free to take a look, and if you have resources on this topic that you think I should review, please send them. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺🌱🍵

    What kind of theobrownin content does aged white tea contain in comparison to an aged sheng puerh?

    • @wumountaintea
      @wumountaintea  Год назад +2

      Of course this depends mainly on the age of the aged sheng and aged white. No research has addressed this specific question yet, however my guess would be that theabrownin contents in Sheng and in White Tea increase at comparable rates over time, i.e. 20 year old White and 20 year old Sheng would have comparable theabrownin contents. That's my guess. Thanks for watching and engaging with all of these interesting questions! 🙏🌱🍵

    Does it makes acid reflux worst like heart burn?😁

    • @wumountaintea
      @wumountaintea  Год назад

      So I briefly searched online for the causes of acid reflux/heart burn, and I found that sometimes the cause is unknown, however there can also be certain instigators like such as coffee, tomatoes, alcohol, chocolate, fatty or spicy foods, being overweight, smoking, pregnancy, or stress and anxiety.
      In terms of tea consumption, I don't think there would be a problem as long as you do not brew the tea too overly strong. Extremely strong tea can be acidic, and the high caffeine levels can also trigger a stress response in some people. However, with less leaf and shorter infusion times (a lighter tea brew), I think that the tea would not exacerbate the problem and perhaps might even help.
      Let me know if you have any issues!
