Green tea Tai Ping Hou Kui, First Harvest, spring 2024, 50g

Tai Ping Hou Kui (太平猴魁) is an original green tea with an unusual shape, meaning "Monkey Leader from Tai Ping." This hand-crafted tea is made by laying out the leaves on a special mesh and pressing them, resulting in its distinctive form.

Aroma: Bright and honeyed, with a characteristic orchid note.

Taste: Rich, thick, broth-like, yet soft and smooth without astringency. It has a pleasant sweet aftertaste.

Effect: Refreshing and invigorating.

Harvest: First harvest, spring 2024, Anhui Province, China.

Brewing: Do not break the leaves! If they don’t fit in your teapot, simply pour hot water over them. They will soften and fit perfectly. We recommend brewing in a tall glass or a porcelain gaiwan. Cool the water to 70–80°C. Enjoy watching the beautiful dance of the long leaves in the water!
