XIXICHA Puerh Tea Premium Tangerine Peel Pu-erh Tea 5.64oz(160g) Xiao Qing Gan Xinhui ChenPi Pu'er Citrus Yunnan Puerh Green Orange Peel 陈皮普洱茶 普洱小青柑 广东新会小青柑 云南勐海普洱茶 熟茶

The first brew is strong on the nose with an ocean scent, however, it mellows as you drink it and the aromatics become more earthy, cedar, mushroom and slightly orange. The taste is nothing like the aromatics. It was not bitter at all! Smooth and delightful. My tin was bent in 2 places but it did travel from China to Arizona so who knows what happened when it left the tea plant. I don’t mind since I bought it for the tea not the tin. The tin is pretty and so much care was taken into wrapping each individual tea ball. I’m very pleased.

I have tried multiple different types of these teas and this is the best one so far. You can smell the freshness when you open the tin and get a lovely blast of orange/tangerine scent. They are wrapped very well and they are full of excellent quality tea and not half full like some. If you are trying for the first time make sure that you remove the top of the orange before steeping so it doesn't get bitter. Crack the orange before steeping so the leaves open fully. So many perfect cups of tea from just one that it's a really great deal. I will buy again.

This xiao qing gan tea was everything I hoped for and more. The tin arrived safe and contained about 17 tangerine peels filled with pu’ehr tea. Each ball was carefully wrapped in paper, covered in foil and finally in plastic. Upon Opening the first tangerine the aroma was excellent and smelled amazing. I steeped the tea in a cast iron tea pot. After a quick wash, i steeped the tea at 195 degrees for about 15 seconds. I got 7 total infusions peaking between the second and third infusions. The tangerine aroma was excellent throughout the entire session. The up front flavor is best described as tangerine and a well loved book. This may sound weird, but you will understand once you try it. Midway through the sip it morphs into a brief mineral interlude before rounding out to honey and tangerine. After finishing a cup and allowing time a sense of returning sweetness comes back. I spent an afternoon with this tea exploring multiple infusions and experiencing how this beautiful tea changes from one infusion to the next. I can’t wait until I have time to experience this again. If you are considering this tea, I highly recommend it. If you never have had it before the tangerine peel is green and the condensed citrus oil is white. The tea leaves are whole and not broken. They clearly were carefully stuffed into the tangerines. I am not a tea expert, but my impression is the quality is superior and at about $2 per session the value is excellent.

Tastes likes sadness and moss

I ran out of my usual Citrus Pu'erh tea, thought I've give this a try. Loved it! Pu'erh seems young but the liquor was a nice color and rich. Got about 7 Gong Fu sessions. Nice find.

This is the real deal, ripe Pu Erh tea, packed into the natural, dried skin of a tangerine/orange. Wonderful citrus orange flavor, with that rich, earthy, voluptuous, truly full-bodied tea. Absolutely wonderful and a perfect alternative to regular ('boring') tea or coffee. Fruity without overpowering the tea. Not a fruit tea - a tea, with fruit. You can either tip the tea out and brew it like that for a more subtle 'essence' of orange flavor to it or do as I do and break the dried tangerine skin up and put pieces into the tea pot with the tea while it brews for a full-on orange taste. I love tea, especially Pu Erh tea and this is an excellent addition to a collection of teas I keep in my cupboard. As a software developer I power my coding during the weekday mornings with black coffee brewed to quasi-atomic strengths for maximum caffeination but in the afternoons and at the weekend I drink only tea. Pu Erh is definitely a tea for tea lovers, and this is a great version of it.

This is such a magnificent tea, the flavors are unreal, the color is deep red . Sometimes I put a but of honey to bring out the citrus .. highly recommend .. each sphere can be brewed 15-20 times .

By far the best tea review I have ever written on Amazon and I've bought a lot of tea. The moment you open it your hit with Citrus gold the smell is irresistible and when you brew it it is so delicious from the very first steep to the second and the third and so on it goes great with a heavy meal and it only gets better the more you brew I bought a second container cuz the quality was just that great I'm very pleased.
