Taiping Hou (“monkey”) Kui (“chief” or “the best”) ranks among China’s ten most famous teas and is commonly translated as “Monkey King.” The tip bud and young leaf sets are pan-fired, pressed flat between layers of cloth in a bamboo basket, and gently roasted over a charcoal fire to finish. The dried leaf has a wonderful intricate crisscrossing pattern from the cloth. The flavor is smooth, sweet, and herbaceous with a delicate floral aroma.

Awesome green tea! I was taken back by the size of these leafs but it makes sense once you learn that it is flattened after it is pan-fired. Thankfully I asked the helpful gentlemen at Happy Lucky’s how I should brew this because I wouldn’t have done it right.
Apparently you simply add the tea to the water unfiltered! You can also eat the leafs when you are drinking for some extra flavor. Leafs are little bitter for my liking but overall still unique and good.
This tea is light, sweet, and smooth. Probably my favorite green tea out of China that I have currently tasted. It is a little on the expensive side…. $7.00/OZ or something like that. Don’t let that shy you away! GO FOR IT! DO IT!
Flavors: Floral, Green, Smooth, Sweet
