製作方式為將果肉挖出後，與茶葉、紫蘇、甘草等材料混合，再塞回挖空果殼內，經過多次反覆的蒸、壓製、烘烤及日曬，約經歷半年製作完成酸柑茶。
喝法是將如石頭般堅硬的酸柑敲碎後，置入茶壺以熱開水沖泡，其口感酸中帶甜，不僅溫潤爽口，茶香與柑香融合的微酸口感令人回味再三。
They use Hutou Gan(a kind of Taiwanese orange) and remove the sour fruits and put tea leaves, perilla, and licorice in the emptied rinds. After about half a year of steaming, processing, roasting and sunning, Bitter Orange Tea is finally completed.
The tea can be had after bitter oranges are put in a teapot full of hot water. It has a bittersweet taste originating from both tea leaves and bitter oranges.

Edit: I burned a partial stick of Shoyeido’s Nan-kun today which wasn’t notable, mainly because I can’t seem to distinguish any of these sticks apart, but I also peeled an orange. After a while, I came back to my room and it smelled almost exactly like this tea did: a medicinal, caramel-tinted, orange. Not sure what happened, but was surprised, to say the least.
2.4g, boiling, thermos.
bought a sample from LiquidProust.
smells like a mix of the caramel of aged oolong, but also TCM medicinal note from the orange. Kind of unsettling. Taste is almost medicinal, but also warm and sweetened, which I suspect is a combination of the aged oolong and aged orange peel. Not bitter at all. Slightly warming. When I took the tea out of the thermos, I noticed the chunks never broke up and I’m not sure what to do about that. The leaves seem to be crushed together before pressing, from what I can tell.
Not sure if I want at minimum 220g of this so will probably pass for now. Not bad, but very much elicits the “drink when you’re sick” feeling for me from childhood memories.
