Tai Ping Hou Kui is one of China's Ten Famous tea. This tea has won many awards, the most recent being the "King of Tea" award in China Tea Exhibition 2010. Our Tai Ping Hou Kui is from Hou Keng village, located at the foothill of Tai Ping county. In the same way that Xihu area is known to produce the best Long Jing, Hou Keng village is where the highest grade of Hou Kui is produced.

Other names:

Monkey Chief, Monkey King, Monkey tea

Taste:

The taste is wonderfully complex. The liquor has a lingering, sweet aftertaste with a hint of flowery overtones.

Appearance:

The tea leaves are fully hand-crafted and truly a sensational work of art. Huge and flat tea leaves with criss-cross pattern on them. The shape is like the tip of a spear and part of the stems are reddish in color.

Origin:

Hou Keng Village (Tai Ping County), An Hui Province, China

Harvest Period:

Spring 2015


Brewing Guide

1. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water.

2. Use about 3 grams of tea leaves (1-2 teaspoons) for every 150ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 75°c (158°F) to 85°c (176°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing.

3. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.

* We suggest you can use glass-based or porcelain tea ware.

A stunning offering that is rarely available to American tea drinkers. It delivered everthing promised and more. A top 5 green tea for me for this years harvest. An exceptional treat.

It is not as aromatic as I would expect from a Tao Ping Hou Kui. Not the best.

I liked the Cha Wang version more, but I always enjoy Tai Ping Hou Kui. The leaf quality was high and the flavor very smooth and nice.

It doesn't get much better than this in green tea. Huge but delicate leaves were brewed in Gaiwan for 2 minutes. Sweet flavor keeps on going in a long finish. Outstanding.

Never have i tried Tai ping before, but i can that its not my style of tea, too fruity for my taste, tho i must admit that it was a very fresh, and the leaves were large.
