8681 Tangerine Wrapped Pu-erh Tea

Pu-erh Tea by PuerhShop.com

The label reads ‘A scent of girls’, I am wondering about that.

The tangerine wrapped Pu-erh tea was made of large tea leaves harvested in Yunnan, and produced in Guangdong, and it had underwent proper aging. The ‘Gold Horse’ brand tangerine wrapped Pu-erh tea by Hoshan Tea Institute of Science and Research is famous in China.

This tea should be brewed with broken pieces of the tangerine skin included for its taste and medical value, it brews a clear soup, rich in flavor, with smell and taste of citrus, highly recommended.

Tommy The Toad Thanks so much for this one!

To me…this smells like semi-burnt rice, pu-erh, and tangerine.

It infuses to a medium-dark brown.

This is better than I thought it would be. The Tangerine flavors are a nice compliment but not overdone. There is some sort of burnt rice flavor in there, too. The Pu-erh isn’t overpowering either. There are even bit of cocoa powder type flavors I am picking up right at the beginning of the sip.

The more I drink this the more I am liking it. Not bad at all.

I infused it for about half the time TTT did – at about 1 minute.

I thought i would realy like this one but i just didnt care for it much, i think maybe i dont care for the flavor that the orange gives to it i also broke up some of the peel to steep with it and to me it gave it an almost spicy flavor, it reminded me of the instant teas in a jar with powdered Tang mixed in that my mother use to get around the holidays, i havent drank it since its been cold outside tho so maybe it will be better in the wintertime. i got 3 of them and gave 2 to my brother and i still have my 1 lol.

Orange puerh is one of the few flavored teas that I still drink where I break up the orange peel that it was packed into and brew it with the tea leaves. The result is a sweet ripe puerh with heavy citrus flavor, which results in a very enjoyable casual drinking ripe puerh.
