Can Chenpi Made by Three Steaming and Three Drying Be Brewed

Chenpi made with the three-steam three-dry process can be brewed, but suitability depends on raw material quality, processing, and storage condition.

Process Characteristics

The method repeatedly steams and dries the peel, helping it dry faster and soften bitterness. It is an accelerated processing approach.

When It’s Suitable

1. Clean raw material with no off-odors;
2. Proper steaming and thorough drying;
3. Dry, well-ventilated storage conditions.

Tips

If the peel has an obvious musty odor or signs of dampness, avoid brewing. Adjust the amount and steeping time to taste.
