Our fragrant Tangerine Shou offers a playful balance between bright citrus and dark, woodsy shou pu'er. Inspired by the Xinhui version, this tea is also visually appealing, functional, and easy to transport and gift.

Explorative and Contemplative

Reminiscent of earthy woods after a rain (if you've ever experienced that), and when steeped along with the peel, as if you had stumbled across fleeting citrus fairies (well, I've never experienced that, either).

In other words, this was an excellent black tea (not red tea, mind you) that served malty, foresty tones that my favorite teas have in common.

Sufficiently delectable.
