Chaduoduo Dried Tangerine Peel Tea — Xinhui 5-Year Aged Chen Pi 70g, Mild Citrus Aroma for Brewing & Cooking

CHADUO Dried Tangerine Peel Tea is a 5-year aged Xinhui chen pi—hand-peeled, sun-dried mandarin peel sold as 70g of mild citrus aroma for brewing and cooking.

Harvested from Xinhui’s prime growing zone, these mandarin peels undergo traditional three-knife peeling and natural sun drying, then rest for five years to develop deeper aroma and flavor. Free of added colors or fragrances, the product highlights the region’s alluvial soil and subtropical climate, delivering a gentle, versatile ingredient for tea, culinary recipes, and everyday flavoring.

How should I brew CHADUO dried tangerine peel tea for best flavor?

Rinse a small piece briefly to remove surface dust, then steep in hot water for about two minutes to release fragrance without bitterness. Adjust steeping time or add honey, ginger, or other tea leaves to match your taste.

• Use 1–3 grams per 200–300 ml water for a single cup.
• Steep 1–3 minutes at just-off-boil temperature for bright aroma.
• Rinse quickly before brewing to refresh the dried peel.
• Reuse the same peel piece 1–2 times for lighter infusions.

Can CHADUO chen pi be used in cooking and baking?

Yes—this aged peel adds subtle citrus depth to savory and sweet dishes without overwhelming other flavors. It pairs well with slow-cooked meats, broths, and baked goods where a mellow orange note is desired.

• Add a whole piece to stews to cut richness and add aroma.
• Grind or finely chop for use in marinades, sauces, or doughs.
• Infuse milk or syrup for citrus-flavored pastries and desserts.
• Use sparingly: a little aged peel goes a long way in recipes.

What makes Xinhui-aged peel different from other dried tangerine peels?

Xinhui’s unique soil and climate produce thicker, oil-rich peels that respond well to long aging, creating smoother, cleaner citrus notes. CHADUO’s selection focuses on the Dahong Pi (fully ripe peel) and five-year storage to reduce harshness and heighten natural aroma.

• Selected large mandarins with thicker peels for richer oils.
• Traditional three-knife peeling preserves peel integrity.
• Natural sun drying without sulfur ensures a pure profile.
• Five years of dry storage develops mellow, layered aroma.

How should I store CHADUO dried mandarin peel to keep it fresh?

Keep the sealed pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors to preserve aroma and texture. After opening, transfer to an airtight container or reseal the original packaging to limit moisture and odor transfer.

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Avoid humid environments to prevent softening or mold.
• Use within a reasonable timeframe once opened for best aroma.
• Contact CHADUO support for batch-specific storage tips if needed.

Who is this for: CHADUO Dried Tangerine Peel Tea is ideal for tea lovers who prefer mild, naturally aged citrus notes, home cooks looking to add subtle mandarin depth to recipes, and anyone seeking a sulfur-free, traditionally processed chen pi from Xinhui. It suits daily use—brewed alone or blended, used in cooking, or introduced into homemade baked goods—offering a versatile pantry ingredient with heritage processing and clear aroma.
