Tangerine Pu’er 

Ripe Aged Pu'er in Tangerine Peel

Tangerine is a delightful fusion of aged Ripe Pu’er tea and sun-dried mandarin peel. This traditional combination is prized in southern China for its smooth, earthy depth and the bright, citrus aroma of aged tangerine skin.

Each Tangerine Pu’er enhances digestion and adds a refreshing dimension to the rich body of Pu’er.
