From Yunnan Sourcing

A delicious high quality pu-erh leaf has been stuffed into the rind of a whole tangerine! The leaves were stuffed in wet, and then allowed to dry in the sun for about a week. The smell and taste of citrus is VERY present in this tea. If you want extra citrus taste, break some of the dried tangerine rind and brew with the tea together.

Each piece is about 25 grams in weight

Producer: Golden Horse Brand (He Shan City Tea Company)

You can get this tea from teavivre if you live in the US, since Yunnan sourcing will no longer ship it to the US. The tangerine flavor is very smooth and mellow, and the puer is not fishy, rather it is rich and dark with a mellow, lingering finish.

NOMS! terriharplady let me steal one of these from her when i was in st louis and i figured that this would be the perfect morning tea since we’re still running through test cases and such. This way i can make a cup, boil the water, steep another cup and keep rotating. so i’ve been doing that this morning and it’s been great. this is absolutely tangerine and not orange. the flavouring isn’t overpowering the tea, though i’ve been experimenting by putting some of the rind in here and there to play with the level of flavour coming through. This is also a bold enough puerh for me, without being flat in terms of a base. On the whole, i’d likely pick some of these up in future for fun :) thanks terri!

There is something about a bunch of tea stuffed in a tangerine shell that is irresistible.

Oh, I’ve got to try that tea! On my wish list it goes. I keep meaning to try one of those tangerine pu-erhs when I place my YS order but always forget.

Matt, I agree!
Uba, when you do, I used about half the puerh that was in the mandarine, plus a few pieces of the peel.

Thanks for the tip, Terri!

Yep the peel adds to it. You can get “chen pi” a lot of people add it to shou to even it out a bit.

I got this from an amazingly generous Steepsterite, who just wanted to expand my puerh horizons! You know who you are and thank you SO much!!!! <3

It was so much fun to have a WHOLE tangerine to bust open! I have to say, this is much better than the 2009 stuffed tangerine puerh I had a sample of from Teavivre. The shu just seems to be higher quality! The tangerine flavor itself is very subtle (I don’t think I got any bits of peel in my gaiwan this time though.) The shu is rich and creamy and earthy without any ‘off’ flavors. I was sad when the leaves finally gave up, which always speaks well of any tea :)

I’m currently surfing a YS shopping cart (& a few others). Not sure if I’ll complete any of the orders, but this is one of the teas in the cart. I blame you ;)
