The tangerine and white tea mini brick provides a single serving, about 5g-8g per piece. It combines the sparkling taste of tangerine with the delicacy of white tea, harvested in Fuding, Fujian Province. Enjoy a carefree tea break with the perfect amount of tea, every time.
Tasting - Sight and Smell
The mini tangerine and white tea brick is quite compact, with gorgeous colors: the red and orange of the tangerine peel are intertwined with the shades of the white tea leaves, ranging from green to coppery brown with silver buds. Once infused, the brick releases the aroma of tangerine zests and notes of young wood and flowers. As the infusions progress, vaguely balsamic hints emerge because of the essential oils released from the peel. The liquor in the cup is a deep golden yellow: the body is rather light and drinkable, smooth and enveloping on the palate without astringency. A perfectly enjoyable tea suitable for any time of the day.
Tasting Notes
GONG FU CHA
The first infusion of the mini white tea and tangerine brick is sweet and fruity: the tangerine notes are clearly perceived while not being intrusive. The sweetness of the white tea is expressed in delicate hints of honey. With the second infusion, the sweet notes are accentuated and clear hints of wild flowers and chamomile emerge. The freshness and slight acidity of tangerine always perfectly balance the sugary hints of white tea. The fruity hints, which become more and more pronounced, then make the third and subsequent infusions more brisk; the tangerine notes gradually become stronger, but always in balance with the delicate floral fragrance of the white tea.
TO THE WEST
The fruity, citrusy notes we find in the opening drinking liquor of this white tea and tangerine mini-brick are what mainly characterizes this product. This is immediately followed by notes of acacia and orange honey, with an excellent balance between sweet and citrusy. Hints of young wood and flowers, particularly wildflowers and wildflowers, can also be perceived later. There is also some camphor note in the finish, softened by a long sweet and citrus persistence.

Infusion method
We strongly recommend infusing this mini white and tangerine tea brick in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a Gaiwan with a capacity of about 150 ml. By following this preparation, with 1 square, multiple infusions can be made that are useful to taste all the flavors of the tea to the fullest.
After a quick rinse of the leaves with water at a temperature of 90°C, an initial infusion of 15 seconds can be made, and then, keeping the water at the same temperature, the product can be continued to be exploited by adding more to water and increasing the previous infusion time by about 10 seconds (15-25-35...). This tea has a longevity of about 6 infusions.
For a more traditional preparation according to the Western style we recommend 1 quadrat in a 200 ml cup with water at 90°C for an infusion time of 3 minutes.
For a better tasting experience we suggest that you strain the infusion as soon as the set steeping time is over. Our suggested infusion timings, however, can also be slightly modified to your liking to achieve a more or less intense taste.
We recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Benefits of White Tea
The White Tea category, along with the Green Tea category, is capable of giving a moderate energy effect due to its caffeine and amino acid content.
The high presence of buds and young leaves in this mini brick white tea and tangerine also allows for an infusion with a significant presence of antioxidants and minerals.
Depending on the type of white tea and its origin, it is also possible to feel a pleasant sense of freshness or warmth at the end of drinking. This makes it suitable for all seasons.
