Taiping Houkui is a famous green tea from the Taiping area of Huangshan, Anhui Province, China. It comes from the core production region—Qiaoshan Village in Xinming Township—known for its cool, humid climate and fertile soil, perfect for growing tea. Our premium Taiping Houkui is made from one bud and three leaves, usually harvested around the Grain Rain season, with fine white fuzz on the leaves indicating top quality. The tea is grown from the traditional seed-propagated ‘Shi Da Shu’ variety, which matures later than usual. Due to the high altitude in Huangshan, the first harvest also takes place around Grain Rain. We work with Master Yu Jianguo, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience, to produce this tea, which has a fresh flavor and aroma.

Our Enshi Yulu comes from the core area in Enshi, Hubei, handpicked and crafted by a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience. Using high-grade leaves, this tea is fresh, rich, and slightly reminiscent of seaweed, while also being rich in natural selenium, known for its immune-boosting and antioxidant properties.
