Xingyang has painstakingly removed the pulp from green mandarin oranges and stuffed them with a beautiful budset shu pu’er to infuse with the citrus aroma over time. These little manadarin oranges are great in a big pot that you can keep refilling all day. The densely stuffed orange takes so long to open up that you can easily get a dozen infusions. The mandarin flavor is bright and tropical with notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and cream to compliment the superbly sweet and clean brown sugar flavor of the shu pu’er.

Bitterleaf TeasI open up the wrapping and am unsurprisingly greeted with the scent of orange.
I brewed this gongfu style. 10 seconds + 10-30 more each steep.
1st Steep: Shockingly the scent of the tea is not that of oranges but of a very floral pureh. The sip brings a nice citrus fragrance to the mouth and lingers in the after taste. Other small tastes appear that remind me of jasmine and roses.
2nd-8th Steep: This steep came out a much, much darker red. Very floral still, however the citrus taste gets stronger somewhat over time. The other flavors like jasmine seemed to disappear quickly even though I extended my steep times properly.
I will give this another chance down the line. Maybe I brewed it wrong somehow? The first steep was fantastic, however the flavor disappeared quickly. Never had this issue before. Disappointing.
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Orange, Rose
