This Xiao Qing Gan (small green tangerine stuffed with ripe Pu-erh tea) was made in 2014 using high-quality ingredients from two trusted origins: the green tangerine comes from Tengma, Xinhui, a region known across China for producing the best citrus peel, while the ripe Pu-erh tea was sourced from Pu’er City, Yunnan, the heart of traditional Pu-erh production.
Over a decade of aging has allowed the citrus and tea to fully integrate. The result is a deeply comforting tea with a rich, full-bodied flavor and complex layers of sweet citrus aroma. It offers a smooth and rounded taste with no bitterness, perfect for those who enjoy aged ripe Pu-erh with a touch of natural fruitiness.
Each Xiao Qing Gan weighs around 9–13g. You can break it apart and brew one-third to a half for a rich brew using a Gaiwan, Yixing teapot (100–150ml), or a glass teapot designed for citrus Pu-erh.
This tea is enjoyable for daily drinking and easy to brew, making it a reliable choice for both newcomers and seasoned tea drinkers.
