Dried Orange Slices (Citrus sinensis) — Hand-Cut Slow-Dried Fruit Slices for Tea, Decor & GIY Crafts
$5.74 – $8.33Price range: $5.74 through $8.33
Description
Dried Orange Slices (Citrus sinensis) are hand-cut, slow-dried fruit slices of the sweet orange, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Chéng Zi (橙子). Prepared from fresh oranges through a low-temperature slow-drying process, these large, skin-on slices preserve the fruit's bright golden color, citrus aroma, and gentle sweetness. In TCM food culture, orange is traditionally regarded as sweet and slightly sour, cooling in nature, and associated with the Lung and Stomach channels, where it is used to support fluid balance, refresh the senses, and harmonize the digestive center.

Quality & Sensory
Each slice is carefully hand-cut and slowly dried at low temperature to preserve its vivid golden-orange hue, firm yet slightly pliable texture, and intact rind. The aroma is bright and fresh, with a clean citrus lift. When steeped in hot water, the slices soften and release a mild, gently sweet orange flavor with a subtle peel bitterness, yielding a light amber infusion.
