Details Introduction
Chenpi White Tea is a unique blend of aged tangerine peel (Chenpi) and white tea, offering a harmonious balance of flavor and health benefits.
Ingredients & Production
● Chenpi: Typically sourced from Xinhui (renowned for premium Chenpi), aged for at least 3 years.
● White Tea: Primarily Fuding white tea varieties like White Peony (Bai Mudan), Gongmei, or Shoumei.
● Production:Fresh citrus peels are cleaned, pulp-removed, and stuffed with aged white tea. Through processes like baking over low heat, drying, cooling, and aging, the peels darken into Chenpi, allowing mutual infusion of flavors.

● Taste: Smooth, mellow liquor with the sweetness of white tea and the earthy depth of Chenpi, accompanied by a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
