Instant Pu-Erh Tea Extract

The fermentation process that pu-erh undergoes causes lovastatin to develop, a naturally occurring chemical that is used in prescription drugs to lower cholesterol.

Studies have indicated that the components in Pu-erh help to burn body fat and prevent the body from creating new fat.

In Chinese culture, pu-erh has been known for centuries to "cut the grease" and help improve digestion after heavy meals. Research confirms that it helps to break down fats and improve the balance of good bacteria in the gut.

The best part may be that already-brewed pu-erh can be re-steeped and reused several times. Of course, it won't be the same as the first brewing or what you may have come to expect from tea. Sometimes, that can be a good thing.
