Candied Citron Peel, Aged Tangerine Peel and Poria Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo spotted candied citron peel for sale in the supermarket — the fragrant, sweet kind from Yunnan that brews into a lovely tea. Citron (xiang yuan) is a citrus cousin of the better-known Buddha’s hand (fo shou), and is traditionally used to soothe the liver, move the qi and ease the chest. Paired with aged tangerine peel and poria, it makes a warm, fragrant cup that is friendly to a tight, stuck feeling in the chest and sides.
