For those who prefer a tangier taste, steep them in hot water to release the citrus fragrance, adding a layer of fruity essence to plain water. If you enjoy tea or coffee, try brewing them with brown sugar for a brighter citrus note. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2019/10/%E6%9F%B3%E4%B8%81%E7%89%87%E8%91%B5%E6%9E%9D%E8%9C%9C01s.jpg Steeping in hot water releases the citrus aroma from the orange slices, making them perfect for a simple hot water infusion or pairing with floral teas. We've tried them with strongly flavored organic chamomile tea; in addition to chamomile's natural apple notes, the orange slices add a fruity dimension without overwhelming tartness, a combination we highly recommend. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2018/06/33197456_10216496161662448_3140415417512624128_o.jpg **Convenient for On-the-Go Snacking, Effortlessly Elevate to a Luxurious Treat** Enjoy them directly as a snack when a craving strikes, savoring the natural sweetness, the essential oils from the peel, and that subtle hint of bitterness for a wonderfully balanced flavor.

The Xidiyao Learning Farm cultivates their oranges using a completely pesticide-free method, employing natural ground cover to enrich the soil. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2017/12/12375251_10201063567869017_9176830365235395066_o.jpg **Nurturing the Soil for Healthy Trees and Richly Flavored Fruit** Xidiyao's aspiration is to cultivate healthy fruit trees that yield oranges with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, allowing the fruit's natural flavors to shine. To achieve this, farmer Zhu Changhui has spent ten years cultivating the soil through natural ground cover, creating his own compost to increase organic matter, and regularly infusing the soil with beneficial microbes to foster a healthier underground environment. https://www.befarmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/zhu-01.jpg In addition to improving soil health, pruning branches enhances air circulation and sunlight exposure for the trees, promoting healthy growth. This allows them to thrive without the need for any pesticides. Even when faced with extreme weather conditions like drought or heavy rain, they can maintain a stable harvest. Changhui, a graduate of the Horticulture Department at Wenzao Ursuline University, returned home to farm and now spends his days in the orchard, observing the trees' needs and cultivating delicious fruit for everyone. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2023/06/%E6%BA%AA%E5%BA%95%E9%81%99%E6%9C%89%E6%A9%9F%E6%9F%B3%E4%B8%81orange-06.jpeg
