Gan Jie Cha (柑桔茶, gān jie chá) is a general term for Chinese teas with added citrus: from tea packed inside a dried mandarin or orange to blends with peel and slices. Depending on the tea base (pu-erh, black, green, etc.) and processing method, the taste varies from rich earthy with citrusy freshness to light floral with a sour note. Especially popular are the ‘Xiao Qing Gan’ (small green mandarin with shu pu-erh) and ‘Da Hong Gan’ (large red mandarin with tea) formats.
