Description

Premium white tea from Fujian region of China flavored with tangy tangerines. A wonderfully smooth and subtle treat, delectable both hot and cold. If you are beginning your exploration of white tea, our tangerine tea will serve a wonderful introduction.

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 bred 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, easy to peel and a 'darling' gift during the holidays.

"Smelled much better than it tasted. Not a lot of citrusy flavor."

"A very mild tasting tea. The tangerine flavoring wasn't very pronounced. I'm not sure if I'll order in the future."

"Very subtle flavor tangerine flavor. The smell is quite different from the actual taste of this tea. Add some honey for a great taste."

"This has a very dry, bitter citrus flavor, which was not exactly what I expected but it was interesting for a change."
