Description
Chen Pi Shreds (Citrus reticulata) are the aged, dried peel of the tangerine fruit, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Chén Pí (陈皮) and honored as the 'aged peel' of Chinese herbal wellness. Sourced from Anhui and graded as Da Hong Pi (大红皮, Red Peel), this unsulfured, naturally aged peel has been prized for centuries as a qi-regulating, digestion-supporting food herb used in teas, soups, and daily cooking. Its nature is warm, pungent, and gently bitter-sweet, making it a balanced yet aromatic herb for harmonizing the Middle Burner and moving stagnant qi.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully aged and cut into fine shreds to preserve its deep amber-to-russet color, dry leathery texture, and bright citrus aroma with warm, slightly sweet undertones. When brewed, the shreds release a fragrant, gently bitter-sweet infusion with a lingering citrus finish; when simmered in soups, they soften and impart a mellow, aromatic depth that lifts the whole broth.
