Taiping Houkui – A Champion of Flat-Pressed Green Tea

Handpicked in spring from Houkeng village in Huangshan, each bud captures the spirit of early mountain freshness and orchid sweetness.

Legendary Green Tea from the Mountains of Huangshan

Taiping Houkui is one of China's most iconic green teas, celebrated for its unique shape and rich orchid aroma. Harvested only once a year in early spring, this tea is made from the first flush of one bud and two leaves, hand-pressed flat to preserve its elegant appearance and vibrant green vitality.

Key Characteristics

  • Origin: Houkeng Village, Huangshan, Anhui Province
  • Harvest Year: 2025 First Spring Flush
  • Leaf Form: Flat, bold, emerald green, bud-and-leaf intact
  • Aroma: Long-lasting orchid fragrance

Appearance & Infusion

The dry leaves are dark emerald and straight as swords. Upon steeping, the leaves stretch vertically in water like dancing orchids. The liquor is clear with a subtle yellow tint and emits a bright, uplifting aroma that lingers through multiple steeps.
