Taiping Houkui is one of China’s most distinctive green teas, known for its unusually large, flat leaves and refined character. Grown in the Huangshan region of Anhui Province, this tea is carefully processed to preserve its natural freshness, soft floral aroma, and clean green taste.
Unlike many stronger green teas, Taiping Houkui is smooth and gentle. The liquor is clear and bright, with notes of orchid, fresh grass, light chestnut, and a delicate sweet finish. Its beautiful leaves slowly open in the cup, making it not only a tea to drink, but also a tea to enjoy visually.
This is a wonderful choice for tea lovers who appreciate elegant Chinese green tea with a calm, refreshing and premium character.
