Chenpi (Dried Tangerine Peel) Herbal Tea

TeaVivre’s Chenpi strips are all handmade, with a scarlet-orange outer skin and pale, yellowish-white inner skin. The dry peel is thick yet fragile, and when brewed in hot water, the liquid immediately steeps out as a bright yellowish green with a heavy tangerine fragrance. It taste mellow and sweet without being sour or bitter in the slightest - and also promotes your appetite! Chenpi can be brewed on its own or with tea of another type, or even used in cooking.

Note: Some of the tangerine peels have small white or black spots on the outside - this is a natural phenomenon in the growth of the fruit, and not a sign of mold.
