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

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.

Before you buy
Before you buy this glass teaware
Glass works best for tea drinkers who want to watch the leaves open, read liquor color clearly, and keep the vessel as neutral as possible.
Check
Heat resistance, grip comfort, wall thickness, spout shape, and whether the format is better as a cup, pitcher, or teapot.
How to use
Use moderate water temperatures and lean on glass when visibility and neutral flavor expression matter most.
Care
Rinse or clean gently, avoid thermal shock, and protect the rim and spout from hard contact.
