This Tai Ping Hou Kui green tea is processed according to the most traditional way, which is shape by "Qia Jian". "Qia Jian" means forming by using fingers. Therefore, the appearance of this tea is less compress and less even. But it taste much better because the juice of the tea leaves can be kept much better by forming with fingers. The dry tea leaves flat and straight. 1 tiny bud and 2 leaves covered with fine white hairs. The tea shows a shinny green color with a reddish hint inside the nervation. The dry noze is clean with a subtle and pure orchid fragrance combines with just the touch of a smoky note. The tea liquor is shinny and of a “greasy” pale greenish-yellow liquor with excellent clarity. The thick and “oily” liquor offers a good mouth feeling, which is smooth and aromatic. The first impression after sipping this lovely green tea is freshness. It shows a fine but deep floral flavor with good purity. A sweet tea taste appears after swallowing, which is elegant and complex. Even though it isn’t a long lasted tea, it shows something special during each brewing. The first brew is to appreciate its clean and announcing floral aroma. The second brew offers you a rich and complex tea taste. The third and fourth brews show its delicate and long orchid touch. Sweetness builds up in the palate cup after cups and a delicate flowery aftertaste stays long after finishing drinking.

Tips : When you brew Chinese green tea in a gaiwan, always leave a little bit of tea in the gaiwan between each infusion. This is call “the root” and will allow you to get the best of the green tea.

Tai Ping Hou Kui *****, 28 Jul 2010
by Dave B.

Another 5 star green tea from Jing Tea Shop. I received this two days ago and can't stop drinking it. Six or eight large leaves in a 5 ounce Dehua porcelain gaiwan with 160F water for about 90 seconds produces a very light, refreshing tea that is perfect for the hotter summer weather. Hotter water and/or longer infusion times give a thicker, fuller taste that is noticeably more vegetal. Either way, this tea is outstanding.
