How It's Used

In Chinese herbal traditions, Orange Peel (Chen Pi) is cherished for its role in moving Qi in the middle jiao (stomach and intestines), helping to transform dampness and maintain a sense of balance.

In Western herbal practices, Aged Tangerine Peel is appreciated for its versatile uses, including supporting a natural sense of calm and balance in daily routines.

Fun Fact: Chen Pi isn’t just for teas and remedies! It’s a staple in Chinese cuisine, adding a zesty kick to iconic dishes like Orange Chicken and Tangerine Beef.

How we use it

"I like to make my own after dinner digestive tea with tangerine or mandarin peels: after properly washing, simply leave the peels out to dry, once fully dried, store in an air-tight container. Pour boiling water over a few pieces, let steep, and there you have it! "
