In case you are new to kumquats, let me briefly explain what they are before we delve into the tea.

Kumquats is small citrus fruit that has a tangy-sweet taste.They’re oval-shaped, like grapes, but they have orange-like skin (which looks so cute, like baby oranges!).

What’s interesting about kumquats is that, unlike most citrus fruits, you can eat them whole, including the skin.The juice inside is sour, while the skin is sweeter.You can even eat the seeds, but they’re bitter, so I prefer to remove them (the big ones; if they are small, I just eat them).

Kumquats can be eaten raw or used to make jams, marmalades, and other dishes, including tea.A quick internet search reveals that hot kumquat tea is a traditional beverage in China, while iced kumquat tea is a popular drink in other Asian countries.But I haven’t tried these (nor I could find much information on them), so for this recipe I just experimented.

How this recipe came to be

I’m quite new to kumquats, having bought them for the first time just a week ago from an organic supermarket.

Although they looked like something I would enjoy, I found that they had a distinctive bitterness that was almost tongue-numbing.

So, I began to wonder if I could steep them like yuzu-yu (a Japanese hot tea made from a citrus fruit) instead of eating them.

Through some experimentation, I have discovered that the recipe below yields the best results, and I’m excited to share all of my tips with you.

While there seems to be a traditional recipe for Chinese kumquat tea, I couldn’t find much information on it, so I don’t know if mine is similar or not. However, I can confirm that my kumquat tea recipe is absolutely delicious, so I can’t wait for you to try it.
