Specialties

Citrus, aged and concentrated specialties. Xiǎo qīng gān packs a small green Xīnhuì mandarin with ripe pu’er: the peel lends its citrus oils to the tea, and the two mature together. Chá gāo (茶膏) is a solid tea extract, an heirloom of the Qīng court, that dissolves at once in hot water. Unusual forms for those who already know the basics.
