Tangerine Puer (Shou, 5 Years Aged)

A true meeting of earth and citrus, this tea is crafted by filling sun-dried Xinhui green tangerines with five-year-aged ripe Puer from Menghai, Yunnan. Over time, the citrus peel and fermented tea leaves harmonize, creating a brew that is smooth, sweet, and gently bright with a lingering richness.

The tangerine adds refreshing fruitiness and a subtle cooling note to the mellow depth of Shou Puer, resulting in a cup that is both grounding and uplifting—perfect for daily enjoyment or sharing with guests.
