Xingyang has painstakingly removed the pulp from green mandarin oranges and stuffed them with a lovely budset shu pu’er to infuse with the citrus aroma over time. These little manadarin oranges are great in a big pot that you can keep refilling all day. The densely stuffed orange takes so long to open up that you can easily get a dozen infusions. The mandarin flavor is bright and tropical with notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and cream to compliment the superbly sweet and clean brown sugar flavor of the shu pu’er.
