Numi elevates the tea experience through quality, creativity, and authenticity. We are grateful to those who contribute to our tea journey, and we hope to have a positive impact on all members of our "Communitea"--from farmer to packer to our fellow tea drinker. Conscientious of the impact of our actions, we aspire to be environmentally responsible and globally sustainable by using recyclable and biodegradable packaging and sustainable bamboo in our merchandising. The Numi JourneyIn the fall of 1999, brother and sister Ahmed and Reem had a vision-to revive the serenity, creativity, and comfort that is inspired by the simple art of tea. Both artistic souls and world explorers, the two siblings have combined their belief in the transcendental properties of tea with their individual passions for photography, art, and culture. The result of this blend was Numi Tea, a refreshing and innovative selection of teas and teasans that awaken the palate, inspire the soul, and gracefully enhance water's unique potential. Ahmed, the master alchemist behind Numi's blends, discovered the calming simplicity of tea and herbal teasans while living in Prague, Czech Republic, where he co-owned and ran two teahouses. A distinguished photographer, Ahmed used his artistic and intuitive nature as a foundation for his innovative and artisan approach to the blending of teas. Fluent in English, Arabic, French, German and Czech, Ahmed is a citizen of the world; each pot of Numi tea is an amalgamation of his worldly cultural knowledge, his in-depth understanding of teas, and his appreciation for quality. Ahmed's sister Reem has a background that is almost as diverse as the selection of Numi teas. Before the advent of Numi, Reem, a biomedical engineer, moved to Italy to nurture her artistic aspirations. Reem has exhibited her artwork around the world in San Francisco, New York City, Melbourne, and Florence. But you don't need to be a globetrotter to admire her artwork--Reem's original paintings are also exhibited on each one of Numi's packages. Inspired by her brother's photos and by the meditative nature and timeless essence of tea, Reem painted Numi's artwork using oil on small tin plates, with imagery that evokes a slower, more contemplative way of being. Reem believes that tea, like art, has a universal essence and is a portal for self-reflection. What started as a dream in Reem's small Oakland apartment moved to a lovely 25,000 squrare-foot space on the Oakland waterfront and has progressed into an exciting and delicious journey. Since its beginning, Numi has carved a distinct path in the U.S. tea world by introducing exotic teas such as Rooibos (Red Tea), Lemon Myrtle, Honeybush, and Dry Desert Lime, and also by offering full-leaf tea in teabags, without added oils or flavorings. Numi continues to pave the way and set new tea trends, most recently with the launch of the first line of Organic Puerh Tea in bags and bottles!

AWESOME BENEFITS
I started drinking this several years ago, in conjunction with Matcha green tea. I work out, daily, both cardio and weights, and in reading about weight control/weight loss, had read that weightlifting was key, and also that Chinese black tea and green tea both contain Catechins, which are instrumental in metabolizing visceral abdominal fat. I have noted dramatic results, after having had a cycling accident in 2010, which had kept me sedentary for over four months (with obvious consequences...).

Numi Organic Tea Emperor's Puerh, Full Leaf Black Tea, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 2)
I have been drinking Numi Organic Tea Emperor's Puerh since 3/2012. I did see it on Dr. OZ show and that is why I started drinking it initially. I love this tea! I am a tea drinker to begin with so if I find a good tasting organic tea at a good price I will continue to drink it. It does have caffeine in it so if you are not a caffeine lover it wouldn't be for you. I normally drink 2 - 4 shots of espresso every morning. It has gotten to the point where all I want to drink is 1 tea bag of Numi Organic Tea! It tastes good and has enough caffeine to give me the boost in the morning that I need. It's also supposed to get rid of fat cells that are hanging around waiting to be filled again! I can't make any claims about that. I have lost a good amount of weight and have not gained any of it back. So maybe my fat cells are going away when the fat leaves! Whatever you are looking for, a good tasting tea, the claim that was seen on the OZ show, this tea is very special and I think you will enjoy it!

Really great stuff, everything but the price
Really great stuff, everything but the price. Very smooth. Other terms you'd use to describe a great, full bodied Cabernet come to mind (ex: "complex," "intellectually satisfying," and "cigar box flavors," each of which translates into a big thumbs up in the wine tasting world). I've made the mistake of mentioning this tea to a friend during a party last week, only to have to pull it out of my hidden spot in the kitchen cabinets and share some! He got hooked too. I just hope he forgets I have it the next time he stops by (hey, don't get me wrong; he's more than welcome to my Tetley stash). Very pricey compared to Tetley and Red Rose, but I suppose it's a fair price for such indulgence. I first found this stuff at a local Whole Foods; I'll have to price-compare now.

A truly bizarre tea experience
While I originally purchased this product knowing it was not a typical black tea, I was struck by just how odd the flavor of the brewed tea is to my palate. Far from the relatively straightforward nuances of an English breakfast black tea, the 500 year process resulting in this tea engenders some flavors I am still unable to identify. My first impression is that of an oyster-like scent, though upon drinking it this tea is still quite tasty and has no unpleasant aftertaste. I would recommend this tea only to adventurous tea connoisseurs who are ready for a departure from your typical black tea, and are prepared to sample a range of flavors that is truly more Chinese than Western in it's composition.

Best Pu-erh I found in a bag
I keep these bags with me when ever I leave the house. That way I can have a reasonable cup of tea when ever there is hot water available. I never order tea at a restaurant anymore, I just ask for hot water.The tea is better than most tea bag tea and the best Pu-erh bag I've found. They are particularly good with a restaurant breakfast. Makes me smile just thinking that I can have my tea at my favorite restaurants.

Recently became a fan
I received a couple of samples of the Numi Puerh tea and have become a fan of both this flavor as well as the chocolate. I'm a fan of Hong Kong Cafe stye milk tea, and this particular type of tea is a far cry from Lipton's when preparing the standard HK cafe beverage. The tea imparts a rich flavor which makes drinking this one of my weekend splurges.

A smooth, silky delight!
This is the first organic tea I've had the pleasure of drinking. Organic teas are so much smoother and silkier than non-organic... the difference is amazing. I've been drinking soy milk with tea for years, and with organic teas I find I don't need to. What a surprise. I didn't know I was drinking milk to offset the bitterness of other teas! I expected this tea to be very strong after reading other reviews, but for me, the strength was average for a black tea.
