Description

Citrus Pu-erh, known as Xiao Qing Gan, is a traditional tea crafted by hollowing out a whole young green tangerine, filling it with ripe Pu-erh, and aging the two together to create a rich, balanced infusion. Over time, the earthy depth of the Pu-erh melds with the bright, aromatic oils of the citrus peel, producing a smooth, grounding cup with refreshing top notes and natural sweetness. This 10-year aged version offers exceptional harmony, warmth, and complexity.
