Xinhui tangerine peel is made from the tea-branch mandarin, through harvesting, peeling, sun-drying and years of ageing. Peel from the core villages of Meijiang, Tianma and Dongjia is prized for its layered aroma.
As the years pass, the essential oils transform, shifting from fruity notes to medicinal and aged aromas with a fuller body. This season Hongnan offers peel from the 1960s to the 1990s, each with storage and age notes.
