FUN FACTS & TIPS

Taiwan Tankan Orange is known as "Jiao Gan" in the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of mainland China. In Taiwan, it was first introduced in the 54th year of the Qing Dynasty (1789) from Chaozhou and initially cultivated in Xinzhuang, Taipei, before being relocated to Yangmingshan (formerly known as Caoshan). The abundance of cultivation in Yangmingshan led to its alternative name, Caoshan Gan, and its ripening coincides with the lunar new year, earning it the nickname "Nian Gan."
