A rare and special green tea with astonishingly long emerald leaves.
Our Monkey King (or Tai Ping Hou Kui) green tea comes directly from Houkeng village, the birthplace of this extraordinary tea. Famous for its long leaves and its intense aroma, this tea can only be picked for two weeks of the season, and is processed on the same day. Look closely at the leaves and you will see the small-squared markings of the pressing.
