Great Chenpi comes from a great origin

The natural barrier of the Liuwan Mountains, the mild climate of the Beibu Gulf and soil that is over 80% naturally rich in selenium — Pubei gives Dahonggan tangerines their ideal growing conditions.

Old-tree Orchards

The older the tree, the better the peel

Dahonggan tangerines have a notable trait: the older the tree, the thicker the peel and the fuller the oil cells — and the better the Chenpi it produces. Truly, "the older, the more precious."

Pubei County is home to 250,000 old trees aged over 20 years and 68,900 aged over 30 years, with some nearly a century old and still bearing fruit. These time-worn old trees are Pubei Chenpi's most precious "living fossils" and the golden raw material for premium Chenpi.

  • 250,000 old trees aged 20+ years; 68,900 aged 30+ years
  • Contiguous bases managed under unified technical standards for consistent flavor
  • Ecological fertilizer applied at the source, quality controlled from planting

One Tree, One File

Scan, and you'll know where it came from

We have built a "one tree, one tag, one file" electronic traceability system. From orchard to workshop, the entire process is traceable — customers can scan the code to learn about their product.

  • Origin information: down to the specific orchard and production area
  • Tree-age information: the recorded age of the corresponding old tree
  • Test data: pesticide-residue and related results made public
  • Aging records: warehousing time and storage environment can be checked

The Craft

From one fruit to one piece of peel

Following the traditional seasons and handcraft, every step shapes the final aroma and quality.

01

Winter Harvesting

Around the winter solstice, fully ripe Dahonggan tangerines are picked with orange-red peel and full oil cells.

02

Three-knife Peeling

Hand peeling with three even lobes and an intact peel — a skill that takes years of practice to master.

03

Natural Sun-drying

After turning the peel, it is sun-dried in a ventilated place to fully dehydrate and set its shape.

04

Warehouse Aging

Naturally aged for over three years in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment for a rich aged aroma.

Smart Public Warehouse

Technology guards every day of aging

Chenpi is "30% growing, 70% storing" — warehousing is the key to quality. The Pubei Chenpi smart public warehouse uses environmental control systems and a traceability platform to standardize, digitize and intelligently manage storage.

  • 24-hour temperature and humidity monitoring, kept constant year-round
  • HD cameras and air sensors recording the entire process
