Thriving in the sun-drenched orchards of Guangdong, Fujian, and Sichuan, this aromatic herbal tea draws life from fertile, well-drained soil where citrus trees stretch their branches toward the sky. The leaves, glossy and deep green, cluster around the fruit—oranges, tangerines, and pomelos—soaking up the warmth of long daylight hours and absorbing the sweet fragrance of ripening citrus. Gentle breezes carry the scent of blossoms through the groves, infusing the leaves with a subtle, sun-kissed sweetness that balances their natural bitterness.

Exceptional Flavor Profile

Savor the tea’s bright, zesty essence: a fresh citrus foundation with notes of lemon peel and green tangerine, balanced by a mild herbal bitterness that softens into a clean, aromatic finish. The first sip delivers an immediate rush of citrus brightness—like stepping into a sunlit orchard—with a hint of floral sweetness that emerges as the tea lingers. A “qing xin” (refreshing) quality coats the palate, while the finish leaves a crisp, invigorating sensation, as if kissed by the breeze from the groves. The liquor shimmers with a pale golden hue, its texture light and lively, carrying the vibrant character of its orchard origins.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Harvested in late spring when the leaves are at their most fragrant, the young foliage is hand-picked from the outermost branches, where exposure to sunlight intensifies their aroma. The leaves undergo a careful process: first rinsed to remove dust, then spread to wither in the shade to preserve their volatile oils. They are then gently dried at low temperatures—never over heat—to lock in their citrusy essence, avoiding any harshness that might come from overprocessing. This minimal approach, rooted in local herbal wisdom, ensures the tea retains its natural freshness, with no additives to mask the pure, unadulterated scent of the orchard.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Ideal for warm afternoons when you crave a cooling, uplifting beverage, or as a digestive aid after a heavy meal, where its citrusy brightness cuts through richness. Its vibrant flavor pairs beautifully with light snacks like sesame crackers or honey cakes, which complement its zesty notes with subtle sweetness. It also shines as a morning pick-me-up, offering a gentle boost without caffeine, or as a calming evening sip when steeped lightly. Whether enjoyed by herbal tea lovers or those seeking a taste of the orchard, it brings the essence of sunlit citrus groves to every cup.
