XINHUI MANDARIN · YUNNAN PU'ER

One peel. One leaf.
Years in the sun.

Wending fills whole Xinhui mandarins with aged Yunnan pu'er and dries them under the southern sun — no ovens, no shortcuts. Citrus and tea age together into something neither could become alone.

Shop the CollectionOur Story

Sun-dried, never baked

Whole fruit dried under natural sunlight, the slow way — the way Xinhui has done it for generations.

Core-region mandarins

Fruit from Xinhui's core groves: Erhuang, Dahonggan and Xiaoqinggan, picked at the right hour.

Aged Yunnan pu'er

Raw and ripe pu'er from Bulang, Banzhang, Bada and Bingdao — some leaves over a decade old.

Small-batch, limited

Each release is numbered and finite. When a vintage is gone, it is gone.

Our Story

Wending — the way up to the clouds.

To wend is to make one's way, step by step, toward somewhere worth reaching. Our tea grows above the clouds, and the only way there is up — winding roads, mountain air, and patience.

Wending is that journey, in a cup: mandarins from Xinhui's core groves, pu'er from Yunnan's old mountains, dried together under the sun.

The Craft

Sun-drying, step by step.

No ovens. No forced heat. Only sun, air and patience. See the full craft →

Picking mandarins

STEP 01

Pick

Mandarins picked at the right ripeness — green, half-ripe or fully red — from core-region groves.

Filling mandarins with pu'er

STEP 02

Fill

Each fruit is opened, emptied and filled with aged Yunnan pu'er, then closed by hand.

Sun-drying citrus pu'er

STEP 03

Sun-dry

Fruit and tea dry together under the southern sun, turned by hand until the peel is firm and fragrant.

Ageing citrus pu'er

STEP 04

Age

Resting in clean, dry storage. Peel and leaf keep exchanging flavour — the older, the softer and sweeter.
