This premium Taiping Houkui Green Tea is one of China’s most visually distinctive green teas, known for its long, flat jade-green leaves. Despite its bold leaf shape, it brews into a gentle, smooth cup with a light body, natural sweetness, and almost no bitterness.

When brewed in a tall glass, the large leaves slowly unfurl and stand upright in the water, creating a beautiful visual experience. With a delicate orchid-like aroma, clean taste, and crisp refreshing finish, Taiping Houkui is an elegant choice for tea drinkers who enjoy soft, graceful Chinese green teas.

The leaves of this Loose Leaf Tea are super pretty

The leaves of this Loose Leaf Tea are super pretty, fat and oily, and I feel like a tea master when I brew it (haha, even though I don't really know anything about it). The color of the tea broth is super beautiful, like emerald, it smells fragrant, and tastes fresh, with a sweet aftertaste, not bitter at all! Compared to other green teas I've had before, and even Japanese matcha, this Tai Ping Monkey Kui was even more amazing to me! Matcha is a bit too strong for me, but this Chinese Green Tea is just right, refreshing, especially for summer!
I usually make a pot of it in the morning, in my beautiful glass teapot, with about 80 degrees water, and it takes about two to three minutes to brew.
