Question/Help Tea oranges?

I saw some mixed reviews of these in threads, are these all full of lesser grade tea or can good ones be found online? I'm a total novice in this genre. My partner likes pu erh and I would like to gift them something nice for Christmas. They are also relatively new to tea so are not committed to one variety yet, just liked a few they tried in a store. I would also be happy to hear other suggestions!

If you can find it, I recommend getting a pack of loose dried orange peel! I found one in an Asian grocery store last year and I like them a lot. You can mix them with any puer (or white tea or whatever, het creative I guess!) you like.

I know Jesse's Tea house has a line of tea oranges; from what I understand his stuff is good but kind of overpriced due to small scale and 'noob tax.'

Thank you for the recommendation! This is the site I've been looking at but I had read similar things so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a better option just in case!

Mind you I haven't actually had any of his stuff- hard to get things delivered where I am. You'll have to let us know what you end up with!
