Description

Premium white tea from Fujian region of China with sweetly tangy flavor of tangerines. A wonderfully smooth and subtle treat, delectable both hot and cold. If you're new to white tea, this would be a good place to start.

Story

Tangerine is the common name for a variety of Mandarin orange. The name tangerine comes from Tangier, Morocco, the port from which the first tangerines were shipped to Europe in 1841. Throughout history, tangerines have been breeded with many other fruits. The most interesting hybrids include tangelos (tangerine and grapefruit), tangors (tangerine and orange) and tangtangelos (tangerine and tangelo). Another popular descendant of the tangerine is the Clementine, a seedless, sweeter version of the fruit that is easy to peel that is a "darling" at the holidays.

"mixed with honey - delicious. sometimes has a dry taste to it, but that's due to my oversteeping (or wrong water temp) probably. mixes well with a pinch of mandarin green too!"

"This is a decent white tea, but there wasn't as much of a citrus zing as I would have liked."

"Not as tasteful as most of the other teas. The tangerine flavor is less than adequate."
