With a deep, bold body that is smooth and earthy with hints of malt, this Numi organic emperor's Pu-erh loose leaf tea is an energizing alternative to coffee. This tea is deeply satisfying, traditionally harvested from the Yunnan province in China. Pu-erh tea is processed in a way to encourage microbial fermentation and oxidation after the tea leaves have been dried and rolled. Once brewed, it contains high caffeine levels, great for kickstarting the day or providing an extra boost in the afternoon.
This Numi tea is perfect whether served hot or iced. To serve hot, simply steep 1 heaping tsp. of tea in 12 oz. of hot water for 4 minutes. Once ready, it's strong enough to handle milk, yet mild enough to be served alone. To make iced tea, steep a little extra loose leaf tea in boiling water, cool, and pour over ice. This 1 lb. bag will make approximately 180 prepared, 8 oz. servings of tea. Make your own original tea flavors by blending with other Numi loose leaf teas for a signature tea that's sure to please.
Loose leaf tea is perfect for creating hand-crafted teas while providing a one-of-a-kind tea experience. It offers the greatest control over how large of a batch you brew and how strong you brew your tea, enabling you to add more or less tea to taste. At the same time, by eliminating the tea bag, you eliminate the waste associated with one, reinforcing your commitment to the environment without sacrificing the flavors your customers know and love.
Step away and savor the experience of sipping a premium tea product, with Numi teas. Since 1999, Numi has been providing quality teas that are rich in flavor, abundant in aroma, and contain 100% real ingredients with no added perfumes, fragrances, or natural flavorings. All of their teas are certified organic, Full Leaf Quality (FOP grade tea and above), and sourced from farms they know and have directly partnered with for years. With Numi teas, you can be sure you're getting the purest, best-tasting organic tea.
Suggested Recipe: Pu-erh Tea and Gruyere Risotto
2 heaping tbsp. Numi organic emperor's Pu-erh loose leaf tea
5 cups water
1 cup risotto rice
1 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 - 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. butter
5 finely chopped spring onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring 5 cups water to a boil. Turn off the heat, add Pu-erh tea, cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Strain and set tea leaves aside. Keep tea warm on low heat. In a large skillet, saute spring onions in extra virgin olive oil. When tender, add rice and stir on high heat for two minutes until evenly coated in oil. Add wine and continue to stir until wine evaporates. Reduce heat to medium and add just enough tea to cover the rice, stir, then add one ladleful of tea at a time, waiting until the rice absorbs it before adding more. Stir vigorously. This will take between 15-20 minutes. Check if rice is done and season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat, add butter and Gruyere cheese (reserving 2 tbsp. for garnishing), and mix thoroughly. Cover and let stand for a couple of minutes to allow the cheese and butter to melt completely and the flavors to combine. Sprinkle with the reserved grated Gruyere cheese, and sliced spring onions and serve.

This pu-erh has a very dark color and a full-bodied malty flavor with grassy notes too. Numi organic always uses good quality ingredients. This tea can be brewed many times from the same batch of tea leaves. We usually steep each batch five times. Do not mix this tea with milk and sugar. It has its own great flavor.

Good flavor for our London dogs but for convenience and time I switched to the tea bags.

This jasmine tea is flavorful for 3-4 steeps. Second steep is the best. Mostly of the leaves are in tack. Quality of the leave is medium to high. There is definitely higher quality out there but this is decent for the cost.

We use these loose leafs as a drip tray display for our hot water dispenser - looks clean and is easy to clean up at the end of the day

A very fragrant and enjoyable Earl Grey. Has a powerful Bergamot punch that is hard to find in many brands. Stands up well to milk and sugar without being too bitter straight up. One of the better bulk Earl Grey's I have tried, a definite repurchase.

Love this earl grey loose leaf tea! We steep it for about 4 min and it comes out perfect, with no bitterness at all. Makes a great London fog.

Purchased this tea for personal use. The tea was well sized and fresh. Bergamot comes through with also a hint of citrus. Very well priced for the quality and amount you get. Would recommend.

Glad to find such a large bag of organic tea and such a good price....but...I found that it is not a strong tea. It takes more tea leaves per cup to achieve the strength I like.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

I purchased this to make London Fogs with and realized that tea bags would be way easier! I liked the product, but we did switch to Bromley, as these don't come in a bagged option!

We go through a lot of tea and mint is our favorite! It’s good to be able to get this in organic, to help reduce pesticides in your daily consumption. This tea is so fresh and packed with yummy, minty flavor. Highly recommended.

This is the best mint tea ever! Sweet yet strong flavor and it’s really good iced. I make the loose leaf with a french press and it word perfect. So worth buying in bulk and loose leaf.

The Numi Organic Ti Kuantans Yin-Iron Loose Leaf Tea is delicious. The 1lb bag is also very cost effective! We enjoyed this more than we expected!

This tea is delicious! The jasmine is very strong as a fragrance, but much more subtle as you are drinking it. A small amount of leaves goes a long way, so be certain to sample this before serving.

The tea was delicious , really smooth and also organic. What i like is the aroma from the jasmine its very relaxing and also not overwhelm like other green teas. We serve the tea to our customers and they just love it...always asking for more....

Very happy to have options to buy Organic Bulk BREAKFAST BLEND Loose Leaf Tea! Most teas available in USA are called DUST TEA in India and Nepal, this is because it’s just the Dust of good leaf tea. It’s what’s served on side of the road in tea stalls. Highly recommend this NUMI Breakfast Blend Loose ORGANIC TEA. Enjoy!
I've been trying to perfect jasmine milk tea for years and this is one of the best that I've found! It has such a great aroma that the cheaper brands don't have.
