Girl power is alive and well – sort of. Spice Girl, Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham was seen drinking Pu-Erh tea which has led to a 25 percent increase in sales of the tea which is said to boost metabolism and therefore aid in weight loss. Online reports indicate that Beckham is not the only celeb drinking the exotic tea – others include singer Joss Stone and model Jerry Hall.
Pu-Erh is made from tea leaves grown on the Yunnan Mountains on the Tibetan border of China. Lifestyleextra.com quoted Whittard of Chelsea’s chief taster, Giles Hilton as stating, “We have always stocked it in a few selected stores and have now introduced it to 60 UK shops, due to customer demand. There is no doubt that "Pu-Erh" is fast becoming the brew du jour.”
