An evergreen tree with glossy leaves, native to the Far East and known for thousands of years, the mandarin tree is adorned with pretty, fragrant little white flowers, which give rise to mandarins. Their essence, obtained by cold expression of the zest, is very mild: that of the Red Mandarin is particularly fruity and sweet.
