Taiping Houkui
Select Weigth & PriceQuantity
The Yellow Mountains' famous Taiping Houkui (pronounced tai ping ho kwei) boasts the most elegant and unique shape and outer appearance out of all green teas. The characteristic long leaves are straightened by hand prior to the last step in their processing, yielding a size and uniformity that would normally be enough to sell itself. The best part about Taiping Houkui however, is its green tea liquor that seems to embody all that we search for in a quality green tea. And not only does its aroma carry a wonderful and sweet slightly nutty fragrance, but the leaves can reproduce it infusion after infusion.

Glass
Most would never associate a small glass with Chinese tea-making, but it truly is the most ideal vessel for teas that you must see to appreciate (greens, whites etc..)

Instructions: For gongfu-style tea tasting, first pour more than enough water to cover the bottom, then drop in roughly two teaspoons of leaves (usually about 6g for a regular-size Gaiwan or small glass). Then pour on the hot water again and let steep for 15-30 seconds. Decant and serve, or drink straight from the cup! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
