Meijiang Aged Orange Peel Pu'er |梅江小青柑
Embrace the vibrant, aromatic depth of ChaDynasty's Meijiang Xiao Qing Gan (梅江小青柑), a luxurious fusion of premium ripe Pu'er tea nestled inside an authentic, hollowed-out green mandarin orange peel from Meijiang—the highly coveted core production region in Xinhui, Guangdong. Sophia Yang personally selects teas that embody the authentic spirit of traditional craftsmanship, bringing you a perfect harmony of citrus and earth.
As the tea steeps, the crisp, refreshing zest of the young mandarin peel beautifully cuts through the smooth, rich, and robust character of the aged Yunnan ripe Pu'er (Shu Cha). This creates a unique, brightly balanced cup with a sweet, lingering citrus aftertaste that evolves beautifully over multiple infusions.

Brewing Steps
- Gently pry a small piece (approximately 4-5 grams) from the cake using a pu'er pick or knife.
- Rinse the tea briefly with hot water (around 95-100°C), discarding the rinse. This awakens the leaves and removes any dust.
- Pour hot water (95-100°C) over the tea.
- Steep for 15-30 seconds for the first infusion, adjusting longer for subsequent brews.
- Savour the evolving flavours through multiple infusions.
