Golden Citrus Reserve — Mi Xiang Hong Cha from Taiwan

A rare premium red tea aged inside a whole natural citrus fruit. Taiwanese tea-making tradition, handcraft and the art of patience in every detail.

A Tea Shaped by Time

Golden Citrus Reserve is an unusual Mi Xiang Hong Cha from Taiwan, where the rich character of red tea meets the delicate aroma of natural citrus.

At its heart is carefully selected tea leaf, aged inside a whole citrus fruit. Little by little the tea takes on the aroma of the natural peel and develops a deep, rich character — the result of time and the master’s experience.

Craftsmanship in Every Detail

The final preparation of the tea is a ritual of its own. The master removes the twine from the citrus fruit, carefully wraps it in cloth and ties it. Then the shell is gently cracked with a wooden mallet, the tea is taken out and placed in a bag.

Behind these seemingly simple movements lies respect for the raw material and for the traditions of handcraft. What matters here is not speed or volume, but attention to every detail.

In the video on this page you can see this process with your own eyes and get to know the craft of hand production — a tea whose flavour unfolds gradually, and where mastery is felt in every detail.
