For a tea to be called Pu'er, it must be made from the large-leaf subspecies arbor tree leaves and grown in Yunnan Province in China's southwest. It's one of the few teas to be designated a protected origin product by the Chinese government, a rarity in an industry run wild with loose, unregulated terms and limited oversight.
