Dried Citrus Pu’er Tea – Tangerine Peel “Barrel” Pu-erh

This dried citrus pu’er tea brings together earthy Yunnan pu’er and the bright, aromatic character of tangerine peel. The tea is packed inside a hollowed dried citrus “barrel,” allowing the pu’er to slowly absorb the fruit’s oils and fragrance as it ages.

When brewed, you get a deep, smooth pu’er base—earthy, rounded, and slightly sweet—lifted by gentle citrus notes from the tangerine peel. The result is a cup that feels both grounded and refreshing, especially pleasant after meals or on cool, damp days.

To prepare, break off pieces of the tea and peel together, then brew in a small teapot or gaiwan over multiple infusions. You can adjust how much peel you use to lean more earthy or more citrusy, depending on your preference.
