The powerful flavor combination of blood orange, grapefruit citrus and pu-erh black tea create an invigorating tea blend to insure good health and good fortune with each cup of Red Tiger Pu-erh tea. We’ve taken a pu-erh black tea traditionally known for being a digestive aid and popular in Hong Kong Chinese Dim Sum restaurants and combined it with the most popular fruit of the Chinese New Year Celebration, the orange – a specially selected “lucky” red orange (aka Ruby, Moro or Blood orange).
Our organic “Red Tiger” tea has a full body with a crisp and refreshing citrus note rather than the usual dominant woodsy taste of pu-erh teas . The aroma and flavor of ruby orange and grapefruit are in perfect balance with the rich-bodied Pu-erh tea.
How to Prepare Pu-erh & Blood Orange Blend:
Heat water (filtered if possible) to boiling or 212˚F and let it cool down to 190°F. Use 1 well-rounded teaspoon per 8 oz. cup, infuse for 5 minutes. May be infused a second time. Most pu-erh tea is drunk plain without the addition of milk or sweeteners.
Ingredients:
Organic Yunnan Pu-erh tea, organic hibiscus, organic lemon myrtle, organic licorice root, natural oils of orange, grapefruit and blood orange.
