DRBU’s Commemorative “Wholehearted” Tea

DRBU’s “Wholehearted” tea is a puerh tea, a variety of fermented tea originating from Yunnan Province, China. Puerh tea is typically aged for several months, and can continue to age for years, acquiring a richer and more subtle flavor, much like a fine wine. 

This tea was produced by DRBU alumnus and first president of DRBU’s Three Treasures Tea Club, Ken Cannata, to commemorate DRBU’s 40th anniversary. This tea was inspired by DRBU’s spirit of wholeheartedness, hope, strength through adversity, and beauty. DRBU is a journey of uncovering your innate wisdom in tandem with compassion. Hand in hand, mind in heart, we all flourish together. We invite you to share in this journey, by enjoying this tea yourself.
