Unique Flat-Leaf Orchid Green Tea from Anhui with Vibrant Arugula Notes and Clean Green Aftertaste
Tai Ping Hou Kui is a unique tea known for its beautiful, long, lush green leaves. It was originally cultivated in just three villages in the Taiping District of Anhui Province. Over time, as the tea gained popularity for its gentle, soothing aroma, cultivation expanded to neighboring areas. Today, it is mainly grown in Huangshan City, Huangshan District, also in Anhui Province.
Tea picking begins around the Rainy Season and continues until early summer. This particular batch was harvested in early April and is of especially high quality. It is made from the locally grown Si Da Cha cultivar, considered the best variety for Tai Ping Hou Kui. The leaves are pan-fried and dried over embers to preserve their delicate flavor and aroma.
TATE NOTES
The tea's flat, straight, and sturdy leaves, vibrant green color, and orchid-like fragrance all signal its high quality. It has a smooth, slightly oily texture and a refreshing taste, with light almond and vegetal notes—dominated by the distinctive flavor of arugula. The clean, green aftertaste leaves the mouth feeling fresh.
Since the leaves are large, we recommend using a glass teapot or cup to appreciate not only their luxurious taste but also their standalone appearance.

150 ml 5.1 fl oz 150 cc

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan, teapot, or preferably a long glass, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your vessel with tea leaves in a 3g/150ml ratio, pour boiling water on them, and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups. When you pour the tea out, make sure you leave some water (about 20%) in your vessel. This tea won't get bitter, it only gets more flavorful.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ This tea is best with 30-seconds infusions.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
