Chenpi, a traditional Chinese medicine name. It is the dried mature peel of Citrus reticulata Blanco, a plant of the Rutaceae family, and its cultivated varieties. The medicinal materials are classified into "dried tangerine peel" and "broad dried tangerine peel". Pick the mature fruits, peel them, and dry them in the sun or at low temperatures.

According to the definition of dried tangerine peel, it "comes from" special citrus peels, but citrus peels do not equal dried tangerine peel. Only when it is naturally aged in a specific region, of a specific variety and in a specific environment, and develops specific properties, flavors and effects, and possesses the vitality of "the longer it ages, the better", can it be called aged tangerine peel.

The core of dried tangerine peel lies in the word "aged". The character "Chen" means "to age and transform". The smell and medicinal properties of dried tangerine peel are developed through the aging process over time. Only varieties with aging value can be called "aged tangerine peel".

"Aging value", simply put, means "the longer it ages, the better" : the more it is stored, the more fragrant it becomes and the better its efficacy.
