From Bitterleaf Teas

This tea combines the tart and vibrant flavour of young Xinhui oranges with the smooth and sweet qualities of Bangdong shou puer, making it the most classic rendition for this series. A light orange note dominates the soup in the early steeps, but the fruitiness gradually balances out with the shou puer flavour as your brew, becoming more and more refreshing.

Overall this tea demonstrates why these two make such a good pairing, producing a thick mouthfeel and milky smooth taste to compliment the sharper flavour of the orange.

Aside from just being a tasty companion to tea, Xinhui oranges from Guangdong are also popular in China for their medicinal properties and therefore come at a fairly high cost.

These oranges were processed when young and green, giving them a tart and slightly bitter flavour than the more medicinal tasting ripened oranges. The oranges have been half-sun baked, which means that they are dried in a combination of sun and oven, offering a balance of quality and consistency.

We highly recommend reviewing the “Brewing Recommendations” tab above in order to get the best results.

There are 16 emojis in total that we used for these teas’ wrapper – collect all 16, send us a picture and we’ll send you a prize! ⁠What’s the prize? Collect them all and you’ll find out.

These are sold by the orange, which vary in size from roughly 10-12 grams each.

Gongfu!

Sore throat and sniffles call for chenpi; so earlier this week I steeped up a session of this shou stuffed Xinhui mandarin (back when I was just starting to feel sick). It’s somewhat bitter and earthy with a pithy citrus undertone, but also accented with a bright and zesty enough top note of mandarin orange that I think it could probably cut throat even the stuffiest of noses! In particular I love the huigan and medicinal coating feeling on my throat. In know I have a few of the other tea base versions of this tea left, but I’m actually not 100% sure if this is the last shou one in my tea stash – at a certain point it just gets kind of tricky to keep track. Thankfully, this tea is a total work horse and just brews and brews, so I’ll be able to enjoy it for the entire day. Haven’t checked in a while if these are still in stock, but if this is actually my last one I’ll have to see if I can add another handful of them to my next order!!
