2022 Green Mandarin Orange Pu-erh Tea (Ripe/Shou)

This is the highest grade and best quality mandarin orange pu-erh from our supplier. The mandarin orange is from Xinhui, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. After the edible fruit is scooped out, the remaining orange peel goes though the traditional sun drying process which gives the orange peel a natural sun flavour. After the orange peel dries, it is then carefully filled with aged ripe pu-erh tea leaves. This allows the pu-erh leaves to adsorb the flavour of the mandarin orange peel over a period of time. This is an enjoyable tea for experienced tea drinkers or people new to the pu-erh tea. The tea has a refreshing fragrance and a pleasant citrus fruit flavour from the mandarin orange. Its taste is mellow and sweet combined with a wonderfully rich and earthy flavour. It also has a long-lasting cooling aftertaste. The tea can be made in two ways. Put the whole piece of mandarin orange pu-erh into a big cup or a big pot. Let it steep with boiling water for a minute until the liquid attains a darker colour. Each piece could brew multiple infusions. Gong-Fu Cha style: Break off pieces of the mandarin orange peel and add 6 – 10 grams of the leaves together with orange peel into a gaiwan or a small teapot. Brew it with boiling water and quick steeping. Weight Per Tuo: each piece is approx. 6 to 12 gramsOrigin: mandarin orange from Xinhui, Pu-erh tea from Yunnan ProvinceTypes: Shou/RipeHarvest Period: 2022
