There are treasures in Guangdong: tangerine peel, old ginger, grass straw.
The Xinhui tangerine peel was pushed to the first place in Guangdong native products. Xinhui tangerine peel, also known as "Gangzhou red peel", has a long history and culture of more than 900 years, and is one of the top ten southern medicinal materials. Its high quality, unique characteristics of authentic medicinal materials, and traditional condiments, has always enjoyed a high reputation.
Xinhui tangerine peel, although it is a variety of Xinhui tea branch orange, but according to the different seedling methods, in fact, it can also be divided into:
Raw branch tangerine peel, circle branch tangerine peel, barge branch tangerine peel.
The original branches are the original mothers, and the circle branches and barge branches are propagated on the basis of the original branches. In the past few hundred years, all varieties of Xinhui mandarin have been propagated by the technique of circle branches. The saplings circled in this way are the most pure-breeded, and the orange fruits that grow are also excellent authentic tea mandarins, which can be described as the "noble mandarin with pure blood" among the tea branch mandarins. So, must it be good to circle the branches?

Wrap the cut branches in mud, grass, etc. When the roots at the incision have grown to a certain extent, the whole branch is cut off and transplanted into the orange orchard, and a new citrus tree grows after careful care.
It can be said that it is: a native "local".
Therefore, the aroma of tangerine peel will be more pure and sweet. However, the ability to resist diseases and insect pests is relatively weak, and its yield is much less than that of mandarin barge, which has a scarcity, so the value of tangerine peel is higher.
