Tangerine Puerh | 小青柑 Tasting notes: Earthy, citrus, velvety Origin (tea): Menghai, Yunnan, China Origin (tangerines): Xinhui, Guangdong, China Cultivar: 大葉種 (Puerh Assamica) Elevation: 1400m Oxidation: ⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿Green Xinhui tangerines are skillfully hollowed out and filled with top-grade ripe Puerh tea to make this soothing, nourishing brew. Why we love it: It's made with top-grade ripe Puerh, which gives it a silky texture, and the best unripe tangerines from Xinhui, which gives it an extra tangy citrus flavour. It's delicious: the earthiness of the ripe Puerh is balanced by the soothing citrus of the chenpi (tangerine peel) and the flavour lasts for many infusions. It takes a lot of skill to produce: green tangerines carefully hollowed out without breaking the skin before being filled with whole-leaf ripe Puerh tea and dried under carefully controlled conditions. Chenpi is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for coughs, sore throats, nausea and digestive issues. What is Puerh tea?
