What's Inside
Every CHIFIR tangerine is a vessel — citrus peel cured by sun and season, packed with single-origin tea pressed for the long brew.
Sun-dried green tangerines from Xinhui — hollowed by hand, weathered by time. The peel deepens with age, releasing a clean citrus aromatic that anchors the brew.
Inside each shell rests aged Pu-erh or delicate white tea, slow-pressed and slow-fermented. The leaf infuses through the peel, gathering its perfume with every steep.
Centuries-old peel craft meets the meditative discipline of tea. A single fruit becomes a layered ritual — citrus, earth, stillness — across many infusions.
Origin
Every CHIFIR tangerine begins in the orchards of Xinhui, Guangdong — a region whose citrus peel has been treasured by Chinese herbalists for more than seven hundred years. Green fruit is harvested early, hollowed by hand, sun-cured for seasons, then filled with single-origin tea.
The result is not a flavored tea. It is a slow conversation between two ancient crafts: aged peel and aged leaf, each lending the other its depth across many infusions. Released in limited batches because that's the only way to keep it honest.
