Aged Tangerine Peel (Citrus reticulata)
Aged chenpi from Guangdong's Xinhui district — sun-dried tangerine peel matured for three years or more, with the deep citrus-balsamic aroma that only ageing produces.
Aged chenpi from Guangdong's Xinhui district — sun-dried tangerine peel matured for three years or more, with the deep citrus-balsamic aroma that only ageing produces.
Aged tangerine peel (chenpi) is a Guangdong speciality: the peel of Citrus reticulata is removed in three even segments, sun-dried, then stored and turned over years. Ageing transforms the fresh citrus oil into a deeper, balsamic aroma — which is why age, not size, sets the price.
Xinhui in Guangdong is the reference origin, prized for the local cultivar and the humid climate that drives slow maturation. Peel is graded by age and by colour, aroma and intactness of the three-segment shape.
Age-graded whole peel plus shredded peel. Age is stated per lot and cannot be verified analytically, so source records matter.

Age cannot be measured analytically. It is established through storage records and organoleptic assessment — colour, aroma and texture change measurably over time. We state the stated age and provide what records the supplier holds.
Xinhui peel uses a specific local cultivar, is cut in three segments and is aged for years. Ordinary dried tangerine peel is a by-product dried for a season and has a much sharper, flatter citrus note.
Our standard MOQ for Aged Tangerine Peel is 1 MT per grade, so a buyer can run a trial lot through their own line before committing to a container. A 20′ container holds roughly 18–24 MT depending on product and packing; a 40′ FCL is quoted on the same basis.
Yes. 200 g–500 g samples of Aged Tangerine Peel are supplied free of charge for evaluation; the buyer covers courier freight, or the sample can travel with the first shipment. Tell us the grade, packing form and destination and we cut the sample from the current lot.
Production runs 25–30 working days from order confirmation, depending on grade, packing and current stock. Aged Tangerine Peel then moves to Qinzhou port, or the port you nominate; ocean transit is quoted per destination when freight is confirmed.
We typically accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) or L/C at sight for new buyers. Repeat buyers can move to negotiated terms after the first shipments.
Yes. Bag size, carton design and label content can follow your market's rules, and we send a dieline proof before the run starts. Custom packaging starts at 1,000 kg per design.
The standard set is COA, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Pesticide residue, aflatoxin, heavy metal and microbiology reports for Aged Tangerine Peel are issued by third-party labs such as SGS, Eurofins or BV on request. We do not hold an FDA facility registration; for US imports we support your importer's FSVP and prior-notice paperwork with batch-level documents.
