Citrus Pu-erh—known as Xiao Qing Gan (小青柑)—pairs ripe pu-erh tea with a hollowed young tangerine peel. As it steeps, the peel releases bright citrus oils that round out pu-erh’s earthy sweetness. The result: a cup that’s vivid, velvety, and deeply soothing—perfect after meals or for a mindful tea break.
