Tai Ping Hou Kui
€0,00
“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.

Ceratophyllum or Gynostemma is a climbing plant from the pumpkin family, which originated in southern China. Low temperature resistance to -15°C. In winter, the above-ground part disappears, but reappears in spring. It can also be planted in pots. This plant is sometimes called five-leaf ginseng or southern ginseng; it has nothing to do with real ginseng (Panax ginseng).

The aroma of tea is sweet and fruity, floral, citrus and peach aromas. In more and more brewing processes, the color of the infusion changed from soft golden pink to amber. The taste is obviously fruity, sweet and refreshing. The aftertaste is strong honey with a gooseberry hue.
This tea can withstand many brews and is definitely one of the most unique teas in our collection at an affordable price, but it is also of high quality.
