Now that the secret is out, women all across the world can benefit from Pu-erh tea, a most sacred and time honored tea that counters the signs of aging.

The carried past stories of the breakthrough Pu-erh tea are filled with everything from its use as a cure, to currency. Centuries before science could quantify its benefits, Chinese emperors recognized the secret to youth and abundant health in Pu-erh tea. Guarded by the Tang Dynasty, the tea was offered by Kublai Khan to conquered natives, and traded as currency past the Great Wall. For generations, this sacred leaf was traded from grandmother to mother to daughter—right to the founders of Timeless Secret, May and Michelle Wong. Like fine wine, Pu-erh tea increases in potency and flavor over time to detoxify, protect and radically restore healthy skin. In it they saw its greatest value — an unparalleled source of ageless beauty, and created the Pu-erh 300+complex™, which is used exclusively in their Timeless Secret products.

The knowledge of Pu-erh tea was passed down from generations to the founders, mother May and daughter Michelle Wong. Chinese by heritage, raised in Hong Kong, and now residing in Los Angeles, they saw the benefits of this sacred leaf firsthand, then researched its profound benefits. Working with Swiss chemists for four years, they developed these highly efficacious, unusually luxurious products, first sharing the collection with those closest to them.

And now, they offer women everywhere options that are streamlined in approach, yet undeniable in results. “I am thrilled to be sharing this breakthrough secret with women everywhere!
