Rose Mandarin White is a blended white tea that brings together three ingredients: aged white tea from 2012, mandarin peels aged since 2016 (chen pi from Xinhui, Guangdong), and rose petals. The aged mandarin peel is the star here — Xinhui chen pi is prized in Chinese tea and medicine for its citrus depth, and over 10 years of ageing has given these peels a rich, sweet quality.
The combination works because each ingredient does something different: the aged white tea provides a smooth, rounded base; the chen pi adds citrus complexity and a warm undertone; and the rose petals bring a light floral finish. It's a layered tea that reveals more as you brew through multiple infusions.
How it tastes
Citrus-forward with a smooth body and a sweet finish. The mandarin peel dominates the first infusion, then the white tea base comes through more in later steeps. The rose is subtle — it's there in the background, adding a gentle floral note rather than taking over.
A note from Joanne: "I've included this in our Evening Sampler Pack because it's one of those reliable evening cups. The aged chen pi has a warming quality that works well after dinner, and the caffeine is low enough that it doesn't keep me up."
Available at our Salamanca Tea Bar — come try before you buy.
