The tea is moderately sweet and sour, suitable for those who enjoy sour plum soup, tangerine peel tea, and hawthorn tea.
2. What is the role of dried tangerine peel in this tea?
Dried tangerine peel not only adds a citrus aroma but also layers the sourness of smoked plum and hawthorn.

3. Why are smoked plum and hawthorn often paired together?
Smoked plum has a rich sour aroma, and hawthorn has a refreshing fruity tartness. When combined, they create a flavor similar to traditional sour plum tea.
