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 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."

"This is very fruity and sweet. It requires no extra sweetener, that's for sure!"

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

"It's a little tricky with flavored white teas for me. There are some that I really don't care much for but this one is different. Has a wonderful smell and delicate taste of tangerines. It can get boring if you drink it every day but tastes great if you wanna get away from your typical blacks or greens."
