The 2025 season is sold out and the 2026 new season tea should arrive in May.
Our Tai Ping Hou Kui Green Tea is delightfully light and floral but not grassy, with a sweet and pleasant leathery note maybe with a hint of tobacco. The tea has a clean and cooling feeling and the texture is surprisingly velvety. The leaves are fat and long.
Due to the long tea leaves it will be best to brew this tea in a tall glass or pot.
