Green Tangerine Puer Tea (21 bags) (Xiao Qin Gan)

Golden Diamond Mini Green Tangerine Tea

"Green Orange Peel Pu-erh Tea" refers to a unique blend of tea that combines the traditional Chinese Pu-erh tea with dried green orange (or tangerine) peels. Here's a breakdown of its components:

• Pu-erh Tea: This is a type of fermented tea that originates from the Yunnan Province of China. Pu-erh is known for its earthy flavor, which develops over time due to a natural fermentation process. It's often pressed into cakes or bricks for aging and can be found in both raw (Sheng) and ripened (Shou) forms.

• Green Orange Peel: This is the dried peel of green oranges or tangerines. In Chinese, it's often referred to as "Qing Pi" (青皮) or "Xiao Qing Gan" (小青柑). The use of green orange peels in tea adds a distinct citrus fragrance and flavor, which can balance the earthy tones of Pu-erh.

Xiao Qing Gan (小青柑) Taste Profile and Aroma:

• Aroma:

  • Dry Tea: A delightful blend of earthy, woody notes from the Pu-erh tea and the fresh, citrusy fragrance from the tangerine peel.
  • Brewed Tea: The aroma becomes more complex, with the tangerine peel imparting a bright, zesty citrus scent that harmonizes with the deep, rich, and slightly musty notes of aged Pu-erh.

• Flavor:

  • First Sip: The initial taste is a balanced combination of the smooth, earthy flavors of Pu-erh and the bright, tangy citrus notes from the tangerine peel. There’s a slight sweetness that complements the mild bitterness of the tea.
  • Mid-Palate: As the tea develops, the citrus flavor becomes more pronounced, adding a refreshing zestiness. The Pu-erh contributes a rich, full-bodied taste with hints of wood and a touch of smokiness.
  • Finish: The finish is smooth and long-lasting, with a pleasant aftertaste that lingers. The citrus notes leave a refreshing and clean feeling, while the earthy Pu-erh provides depth and complexity.

• Mouthfeel:

  • Medium to full-bodied, with a smooth and slightly thick texture. The tea has a balanced mouthfeel that is both refreshing and satisfying.

• Overall Experience:

  • Xiao Qing Gan offers a unique and harmonious blend of flavors and aromas. The combination of the earthy, aged Pu-erh tea with the bright, citrusy tangerine peel creates a refreshing yet complex tea that is both invigorating and comforting. It is a delightful tea for those who appreciate the intricate balance of citrus and earthy notes.
