Simply put, small green tangerine is a type of Pu'er Tea, which we usually refer to as small green tangerine. It is a kind of blended or processed tea. The earliest small green tangerines were made by removing the flesh from small green tangerines from Xinhui and then manually stuffing them with Pu'er tea. They would then use relevant techniques to dry the green tangerines, after which Pu'er tea would be placed inside, followed by packaging and sealing.
These teas were very popular in recent years. The flavor of small green tangerine combines the taste of Pu'er tea with the aroma of the fruit Peel, and these two flavors can blend perfectly. If properly stored, the longer they are kept, the better their flavor becomes. The taste is fresh, sweet, and gentle. For a time, they became wildly popular across the country. Due to their unique shape, special ingredients, and individual packaging, they are also convenient for carrying and brewing.
In particular, the taste has that tangerine peel flavor that is irresistible. Furthermore, because the Pu'er tea is placed inside the green tangerine, when brewing, the resulting infusion is even more appealing. Many people enjoy drinking Pu'er, but sometimes Pu'er with an unpleasant taste may have a slight earthy flavor, which they might not like. When Pu'er meets green tangerine, this flavor is covered by the tangerine peel taste.
