Orange and pu’er are a classic and predictable combination. In honor of the deep berry complexity of the 2008 Xingyang nuggets that we used as the base, this tea has dark sweet elderberry, a touch of orange peel, flowery hot galangal, and spicy ginger. Together, the result is a tea that is thick and complex, but still tastes like it could be straight up pu’er. The berries and spices only bring out the natural qualities that high end pu’er already has.
Ingredients: 2008 Xinyang nuggets shou pu’er, elderberry, orange peel, galangal, ginger
