Aged Hua Ju Hong Slices (Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’) — Chenpi-Style Dried Citrus Peel for Tea

Aged Hua Ju Hong Slices (Citrus grandis 'Tomentosa') are the dried, aged peel of a revered citrus variety known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Huà Jú Hóng (化橘红), also written Hua Ju Hong or Hua Juhong. Grown in the core Dongjia (东甲) region of Guangdong, this chenpi-style peel has been prized for centuries as a qi-regulating, phlegm-transforming herb used to ease the chest, soothe the throat, and support comfortable breathing. Its nature is warm, pungent, and slightly bitter, making it a classic warming herb for harmonizing the Lung and Spleen.
