橘子普洱

I was expecting a flavored tea, but this is literally tea leaves packed inside the fruit itself. The peel gives every steep a bright citrus edge that cuts through the earthy puerh nicely, and it holds up over several refills.

I was skeptical about fruit and puerh together, but the citrus peel actually mellows out the earthy tea nicely. Steeping a whole stuffed tangerine feels a bit indulgent, though it's worth it for that deep, jammy flavor on a cold afternoon.

The whole tangerine is stuffed with puerh instead of just flavored with dried fruit, and you can taste the difference — the peel gives it a bright citrus note that cuts through the earthy tea. I've been steeping the same one for several rounds and it holds up nicely.
