Tai Ping Hou Kui
“Peaceful monkey leader”. Similar teas (with sharp and pointed large leaves) were made in Tai Ping before the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. But during the Qing Dynasty, one of Hou Ken’s tea growers was famous for his new tea, which he named “Hou Kui – Chief of Monkeys.”
The tea has flat, relatively large leaves of a bright green color with red veining and a hairy inner side. As one of the few green teas, this orchid has a quality of taste and aroma. The infusion has a slightly milky consistency and a delicate taste with orchid aftertaste. This tea, which is rightly one of the ten most famous Chinese green teas, can help relax after physical exertion, stimulate the activity of the nervous system and tones.
