Tangerine and Tea Fusion, Lingnan’s Natural Treasures
Specially selected first-grade Liubao tea is skillfully paired with Xinhui young tangerines, where the dry tea leaves and fruit peel complement each other perfectly. Upon opening the box, a fresh and sweet fruit aroma emerges first, followed by the tea’s charm unfolding gracefully, as if a Lingnan landscape painting gradually spreads before your senses.

This unique combination represents the pinnacle of traditional Chinese tea craftsmanship, where the earthy depth of aged Liubao meets the bright, sunny essence of young tangerines. Each tiny green tangerine is carefully hollowed, sun-dried, and then filled with premium tea leaves before undergoing a slow aging process that allows the two elements to marry harmoniously. The result is a tea that captures the very soul of southern China’s tropical abundance and cultural refinement.
Golden Amber Flowing Light, Fruit Moisture Awakens Sweetness
As boiling water is poured, the tea yields a yellow-red, translucent amber glow, with the refreshing citrus fragrance seeping into the heart like morning dew. On the palate, the flavor is pure and full, as the tea aroma and fruit charm flow and blend between teeth and cheeks, while the lingering sweet aftertaste extends like a clear forest spring, flowing endlessly.

The liquor is neither turbid nor thin; instead, it possesses a velvety texture that coats the mouth gently. With each sip, the bright acidity of Xinhui tangerine peel dances on the tip of the tongue before giving way to the deep, earthy sweetness of aged Liubao. This layered tasting experience evolves over multiple infusions — the first steep reveals the freshest citrus notes, while later steeps bring forward the tea’s woody, honey-like complexity. Even after seven or eight infusions, the tea remains flavorful, a testament to the quality of both its leaf and fruit base.

Tangerine Soul Infuses Charm, Tea Spirit Carries Fragrance
The tea leaves have been steeped within the embrace of young tangerines for years, absorbing the essence of the fruit peel to become even mellower. This is a poetic expression of Lingnan wisdom across the dimension of time, with each tea leaf carrying the dual gifts of sunlight, rain, and the craftsmanship of tea making.

The aging process transforms the raw energy of both tea and fruit into a harmonious whole: the Liubao loses any remaining astringency, while the tangerine peel’s volatile oils gradually stabilize, creating a balanced, soothing aroma reminiscent of dried citrus peel, old wood, and faint herbs.

Traditional Chinese tea connoisseurs believe that such aging not only enhances flavor but also brings health benefits, as the combination of Liubao’s probiotic-rich fermentation and tangerine’s natural flavonoids supports digestion and refreshes the senses. Stored in a cool, dry place, this tea will continue to evolve over the next decade, gaining even greater depth and smoothness.
Eastern Elegance, Gifts Connect the World
Elegantly packaged in 150g tea gifts, with a grand arrangement of 60 boxes per case, this tea was honored as the Designated VIP Tea for the 2019 China-ASEAN Expo. Young tangerine tea is not only a refined representation of Eastern aesthetics but also a fragrant bond connecting the cultural resonance between China and ASEAN.

Made from premium grade-1 Liubao tea, it is blended with the fresh and mellow citrus aroma of Xinhui Xiaoqinggan (small green mandarin oranges). Upon brewing, the liquor reveals a bright yellowish-red hue. It greets the palate with a refreshing citrus fragrance, followed by a pure and full-bodied taste, with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste that leaves one feeling refreshed and invigorated. Whether served in a formal tea ceremony or enjoyed as a daily comfort, this tea embodies the spirit of cross-cultural friendship, shared heritage, and timeless craftsmanship.
