Tai Ping Hou Kui

Tai Ping Hou Kui, this unique tea with its beautiful, long, lush green leaves, was originally cultivated in three villages only, in Taiping District of Anhui Province. Through time however, as it became more popular for its gentle, caressing aroma, they started growing it in the neighboring areas as well. Today it is mainly cultivated in Huanshang City, Huanshang District in Anhui Province.

Tea picking starts during Rainy Season and lasts until the beginning of Summer. This particular Tai Ping tea was harvested at the beginning of April, and it is especially high quality. The cultivar used is the locally grown Si Da Cha, the best type for Tai Ping Hou Kui. This tea is pan-fried and dried on ember.

The tea's flat, straight, strong leaves, lush-green color, and charismatic scent resembling the fresh fragrance of orchid flowers are all indicators of the tea's high quality. It is sweet, with light almond and pine seed notes. The refreshing verdant notes in the aftertaste leave a fresh, clean mouthfeel.

As the leaves are large, we recommend using a glass teapot or cup to enjoy not only its luxurious taste but also its standalone beauty.
