Numi Organic Emperor's Pu-erh Tea — 48 Individually Wrapped Dark Tea Bags, High Caffeine, Full-Bodied Malty Flavor

Numi Organic Emperor's Pu-erh is an aged, caffeinated Yunnan dark tea in convenient individually wrapped bags that delivers a deep, malty, earthy cup as a satisfying alternative to coffee.

This single-origin Pu-erh comes from Yunnan and is crafted to highlight a rich, full-bodied profile with smooth, earthy notes and malt-forward depth. Packaged as 48 individually wrapped bags, Numi’s Emperor's Pu-erh preserves full-leaf quality and aroma while making brewing quick and consistent for mornings, mid-day boosts, or post-meal cups.

What flavor profile should I expect from this aged Pu-erh?

Expect a bold, grounded character: earthy base notes combined with malty undertones and a smooth finish. Unlike lighter black or green teas, Pu-erh develops complexity from aging, yielding a deeper, more rounded flavor that holds up well with or without milk.

• Deep, earthy backbone with subtle toasted or woodsy nuances
• Pronounced maltiness that gives a coffee-like richness
• Medium to full body with a smooth, lingering finish
• Consistent cup strength thanks to individually wrapped full-leaf bags

How should I brew Numi Emperor's Pu-erh for the best cup?

Use near-boiling water and a slightly longer steep to coax out the tea’s mature flavors. Because Pu-erh is dense and aged, a hotter temperature and longer infusion time extract the malt and earthy notes while preserving balance.

• Water temp: 205–212°F (just off boiling)
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes for a single bag; adjust by taste
• Use one bag per 8–12 oz cup; rinse the bag briefly for a cleaner first infusion if desired
• Re-steep once for a lighter second cup—Pu-erh often rewards multiple infusions

Is this Pu-erh tea caffeinated, and how does it compare to coffee?

Yes, Emperor's Pu-erh contains caffeine and offers a satisfying pick-me-up without the acidity typical of coffee. Its bold body and malty depth make it a popular coffee alternative for those seeking a robust, warming beverage with lower acidity and a different flavor profile.

• Natural caffeine from full-leaf black Pu-erh for an energizing effect
• Lower acidity than many coffees, easier on the stomach for some drinkers
• Flavor complexity reminiscent of roasted or malted drinks
• Works well with or without milk, and complements sweeteners if desired

How does Numi package and preserve the tea’s quality?

Numi uses individually wrapped tea bags containing full-leaf Pu-erh to protect aroma and freshness bag-by-bag. That packaging keeps each serving sealed from air and light, making it convenient for home, work, or travel while maintaining premium leaf character.

• 48 individually wrapped bags per box for freshness and portability
• Full-leaf quality in bagged form for a stronger, clearer infusion than fannings
• Consistent brewing results each time—no measuring required
• Suitable for single-serve preparation and multiple steeps when desired

Who is this Pu-erh best suited for? Numi Organic Emperor's Pu-erh is ideal for tea lovers who prefer a full-bodied, earthy cup with noticeable maltiness and natural caffeine. It suits people switching from coffee to tea, anyone who enjoys aged, complex teas, and those who want premium full-leaf quality in a convenient, individually wrapped bag for consistent results at home or on the go.
