Pu'er Tea Oranges (小青柑) is our interpretation of a centuries-old pairing — aged Pu’er tea carefully encased in sun-dried green mandarins. It’s a meeting of depth and brightness, earth and citrus.
The process begins with hand-selected young tangerines, harvested while their skins are still vibrant and aromatic. Each fruit is hollowed by hand, preserving the essential oils in the peel. Aged Pu’er, rich with smooth, fermented depth, is packed into each hollowed fruit. The filled tangerines are then gently dried and rested, allowing time to merge their characters into one.
Once steeped, the peel releases a soft, zesty bitterness that rounds out the tea’s woody, earthy base. The result is a coppery infusion that is warming, clean, and persistent — with notes of dried citrus peel, loamy earth, and a soft, cooling finish.
Pu'er Tea Oranges is mellow enough for everyday drinking and resilient enough for re-steeping across the day — a slow-unfolding tea with both structure and surprise.
