The spongy skin is thin like paper and is easy to peel, when peeling the tangerine has a characteristic aroma. The tangerine segments are easy to separate. The flesh is light pink, when eaten, it is sweet and refreshing. That is why there is a poem by Tung Thien Vuong: "... only for lovers to peel, the aroma is fragrant to the bone..."
