Zhangtai Zhuangyuan Honey Oranges

Zhangtai Zhuangyuan Honey Oranges is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　Keshan Village in Fangyang Town is the ancestral home of Lin Zhen, the Zhuangyuan (top imperial scholar). In the second half of last year, over 1.2 million yuan was invested to plan and construct the Keshan Zhuangyuan Culture Park. The area is renowned for its uniquely flavored Zhangtai honey oranges, known as “Zhuangyuan Honey Oranges.”

　　The uniquely excellent Zhuangyuan Honey Oranges are grown in Fangyang Town, Zhangtai County — the hometown of Lin Zhen, the only Zhuangyuan in Zhangzhou Prefecture. This place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, and has nurtured many talented individuals. The honey oranges have also gained widespread fame thanks to their association with the Zhuangyuan.

　　Zhuangyuan Honey Oranges are superior in shape, color, and taste. The fruits are relatively small, weighing 40–60 grams each, with a flat-round shape, thin peel (averaging 0.11 cm), orange-yellow and glossy in appearance, and covered with small, densely packed oil glands that are either flat or slightly raised. Each orange contains 7–10 kidney-shaped segments with thin membranes. The pulp is yellow, soft, juicy, richly sweet, and aromatic. The juice contains citric acid, various vitamins, sugars, amino acids, and elements such as phosphorus, iron, and calcium. The peel strengthens the spleen and helps reduce phlegm, the white pith promotes circulation and invigorates the blood, and the seeds regulate qi and relieve stagnation.

　　Thanks to the spiritual essence absorbed from this land of top scholars, Zhuangyuan Honey Oranges possess a uniquely delicate fragrance. Their aroma is refreshing and awakening, even helping to relieve alcohol. The taste lingers on the lips and palate, offering a sweet, smooth, and luxurious flavor — truly the “Zhuangyuan” among oranges, a rare gem of the citrus world.
