«Taiping Houkui» («The Monkey King from Taiping») is green tea from Anhui Province, harvest 2019.
In appearance: beautiful, large (6-8 cm), elongated leaves of bright green color, flat as thin paper. The aroma is fresh, delicate, grassy. The infusion is transparent, very light green.
The bouquet of the ready-made tea is fresh, airy, grassy-floral, with a subtle hint of baked chestnuts. The aroma is refined, floral-herbaceous. The taste is soft and full-bodied, sweetish, pure, like the taste of water from a mountain spring.
Brew tea with hot water (75-80°C) in a gaiwan or in a teapot made of porous clay. The proportion is 4-5 g per 100 ml. The time of the first steeping is about 5 seconds. After that do short steeps (just for 1-2 seconds) increasing steeping time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can steep the tea up to 7 times.
In the morning or afternoon, before or after a meal, «Taiping Houkui» is the perfect drink to revitalize your mind and refresh your spirit.
