From TeaLife Hong Kong

This very special tea is the highest grade a dealer in Zhengzhou, Fujian, carries. This is a traditional tea among the Hakka people of Southern Fujian and across the Straits in Taiwan, as well, and it is used medicially to prevent and treat coughs and fevers, among other things. I make no medicinal claims for this tea, but you can do your own research into the ingredients.

Tried it a few different ways. Never get much taste out of it. Its alright, not bad. I get a burnt sugar taste from it with a bit of woody aftertaste. It goes a lot of steeps I’ll give it that. Can’t recommend it, cause there is a lot of better options for orange herbal teas.

That’s interesting: there should be a lot of flavor there! Did you rest the tea when it came in?

With the chance of looking like a fool, what do you mean by rest? The tea sat around for a bit before I drank it. I’m sure you know how that goes. Almost always have a never-ending back catalog.

Gotcha, it’s best to let tea rest for a week before you try it if it’s come off a plane (air shipment seems to really throw tea off), but it sounds like you’ve had it for a while. The tea is always really intensely flavorful for me, so I wonder what went wrong this time…sorry you had a less than ideal experience with it!

While sick on Saturday I remembered that I still had some of this sample left. I threw the rest of it (a 10 gram chunk of roasted orange, oolong and herbs caked together) into my kyusu and steeped this all weekend, including Monday when I stayed home sick. The chunk wasn’t even falling apart and still had flavor after all that so I brought it to work Tuesday. I’ve been grandpa-ing it for the past two days. That is 5 days of steeping so far.

No joke, this tea is a beast when it comes to longevity, it’s soothing, and it’s got a distinct taste without being overwhelmingly medicinal. I am seriously considering buying a full orange since it’s pretty well priced and can be resteeped so many times.

Thank you for the review! Yes, the Hakka oranges are great value and provide lots of drinking pleasure over many steeps!
