Zum Zum King Orange Cured Shou Pu-erh Tea

Zum Zum King Orange Cured Shou Pu-erh delivers the rich, earthy character of aged black tea infused with natural citrus complexity. Each individually wrapped orange is packed with compressed pu-erh that has absorbed years of bright, sweet flavor—creating a brew that evolves beautifully across multiple infusions.

This aged blend combines the smooth body typical of quality black tea with the distinctive sweetness of Vietnamese King Orange (Cam Sanh), a small varietal now cultivated in Yunnan. The result is a subtle yet deeply satisfying cup with subtle citrus notes that develop as the tea cools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Zum Zum King Orange Cured Shou Pu-erh have caffeine?
Yes. As a black tea-based blend, this pu-erh contains moderate to high caffeine levels—typically 30–50mg per 8oz cup depending on steep time and leaf amount. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for how much caffeine is in black tea and want sustained alertness throughout your day.

What are the benefits of black tea in this blend?
Black tea benefits include natural antioxidants and sustained energy support without the crash. When steeped multiple times, you'll also enjoy the slow-release nature of pu-erh, making it ideal for leisurely afternoons or work sessions where you want steady caffeine without overload.
