Xiǎo qīng gān — “small green tangerine” — is shu pu-erh packed whole into a hollowed, unripe mandarin from Xīnhuì, Guǎngdōng, the same region prized for the standalone dried peel (chénpí, 陈皮) used across Cantonese cooking and medicine. The fruit dries around the tea, lending it a citrus-and-wood profile distinct from any straight pu-erh.
