LITTLE CITRUS PU’ER TEA 12 PCS

What is Little Citrus Pu’er Tea?

Little Citrus Pu’er Tea is a unique beverage that originates from the rich tea culture of China, specifically the Yunnan province. It is often called “tea orange” or “lime ball”. This tea combines the earthy flavors of fermented Pu’er tea leaves with the aromatic zest of dried tangerine peel, creating a harmonious fusion that distinguishes it from more traditional tea varieties. The process of crafting this distinctive tea involves a careful hand-picking and fermentation of the Pu’er leaves, followed by the meticulous addition of sun-dried tangerine peels, which infuse the infusion with a refreshing citrus aroma.

The preparation of Little Citrus Pu’er Tea begins with the harvesting of high-quality Pu’er tea leaves. These leaves are typically fermented and aged, allowing them to develop their characteristic depth of flavor. After fermentation, the leaves are combined with tangerine peel, which has been dried to preserve its flavors. The combination is left to mature, allowing the flavors to meld and create a balanced profile that features both earthy and zesty notes. This meticulous process not only enhances the flavor but also maintains the health benefits associated with both components.

Pu’er tea is known for its unique properties, which include aiding digestion and promoting gut health. Likewise, dried tangerine peel is celebrated in traditional Chinese medicine for its potential to improve metabolism and regulate stomach function. When combined, these elements create a beverage that not only satisfies the palate but also brings potential health benefits, making Little Citrus Pu’er Tea an appealing choice for tea enthusiasts seeking a refreshing yet nourishing experience.

*Note: This product contains caffeine, theophylline and tea polyphenols, yet the caffeine level in ripe (aged) Pu’er tea is significantly lower than that in raw Pu’er tea, green tea, and coffee.

Brewing the Perfect Cup of Little Citrus Pu’er Tea

Brewing a perfect cup of Little Citrus Pu’er tea involves several steps that ensure an optimal infusion, allowing the earthy notes of the Pu’er to meld beautifully with the zesty essence of the tangerine. Begin by selecting high-quality Little Citrus Pu’er tea, preferably one that is stored properly to maintain its unique flavors. To enhance the infusion experience, it is recommended to gently crack or drill holes in the tangerine peel. This method allows water to penetrate more deeply, leading to a richer and more aromatic cup of tea.

Next, prepare your brewing vessel. A tea pot or a gaiwan works best. Heat fresh water to approximately 205°F (96°C), optimal for extracting the flavors of Pu’er tea without causing bitterness. Add one tangerine ball to the vessel, taking care to ensure the peel is adequately perforated.

Pour the hot water over the tangerine and tea ball, allowing it to steep for approximately 1-2 minutes for the first infusion. Gradually increase the steeping duration with each subsequent infusion, up to 3 minutes, to extract deeper flavors. Typically, a single tangerine ball can yield 3 to 5 infusions, providing a spectrum of flavors that evolve over each session.

Enjoying your Little Citrus Pu’er tea can be an experience in itself. Pair it with light snacks such as candied fruits, cookies, or cheese platters, which can complement its earthy and zesty notes. This tea is excellent for cozy afternoons or social gatherings, as it promotes conversation and relaxation. The fragrant aroma and delightful flavor profile of this tea create an inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for various occasions.

**Note: Each little citrus tea ball is good with 6-8 steeps with a 350ml TaeTea glass tea maker or a normal-sized gaiwan.
