Known as the best of Anhui province’s pointed green teas, Tai Ping Hou Kui Green has very long bud sets that unfurl like colorful floating flowers when infused. Since its gold medal in the first rank at the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition it has become world famous. Tai Ping Hou Kui Green grows on the northern slopes of one range of the Huangshan Mountains.
