Description
Chen Pi Shreds (Citrus reticulata) are the sun-dried, finely cut peel of the tangerine, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Chén Pí (陈皮) and honored for centuries as a qi-regulating, digestion-supporting food herb. Sourced from Xinhui, the most celebrated core producing region for aged tangerine peel, this micro-red peel grade (微红皮) is sliced into fine shreds for easy brewing and cooking. Its nature is warm, pungent, and bitter-sweet, making it a gentle yet aromatic herb traditionally used to move qi, harmonize the middle, and dry dampness.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is sun-dried and cut into slender, even shreds that preserve the peel's warm amber-to-golden color and slightly curled texture. The aroma is bright and citrus-forward with a deep, mellow aged note. When brewed, the shreds yield a clear golden infusion with a gentle bitter-sweet citrus flavor and a lingering aromatic finish; when simmered in soups, they soften and release a warm, rounded fragrance that lifts the whole broth.
