• Item No. G28104-1 Tai Ping Hou Kui Special
• This tea is originated from near one of the most beautiful scenic places called Huang Mountain, Anhui province in China (same province as Keemun’s). It is picked with one bud and two leaves. The leaves are shaped like the tips of spears and parts of the stems are yellowish in color. During its processing, each tea leaf is ironed under a piece of cloth and each huge and flat tea leaf leaves noticeably with crisscross pattern on them. This tea is characterized as fully hand-crafted and truly a sensational work of art. While steeping this tea, you will easily find the slow sinking and floating movements, like spears gathering together. The taste is extraordinarily and wonderfully complex. Nutty at first sip and the sweetness of this tea gradually reveals itself as you continue to drink it. The liquor is a bright, clear, pale green and also has a lingering, sweet aftertaste with a hint of flowery overtones. This tea has won a lots of global awards since 1915, the most current being the “King of Tea” award in China Tea Exhibition 2004.
