01 Mandarin and Citrus Sourcing
We buy straight from trusted groves across the warm valleys of the Xi'an hinterland and the southern citrus country, picking varieties that hold their brightness after a long cold sleep. Our sourcing team checks brix, rind firmness and calibre at the tree, so the mandarins that arrive at Hougou Village already carry a note of their sugar. Pummelos, tangerines, kumquats and winter oranges are grouped by sweetness and by the kitchen that will use them.
