Taste:
The taste is wonderfully complex. It has a smooth mouthfeel, taste nutty at first sip and the sweetness of this tea slowly reveals itself as you continue to drink it. The liquor also has a lingering, sweet aftertaste with a hint of flowery overtones.
Appearance:
The tea leaves are fully hand-crafted and truly a sensational work of art. They are huge, flat and have criss-cross pattern on them. The reddish color on the stem (one of the known characteristic of this tea) is also very apparent on our Cha Wang Tai Ping Hou Kui tea leaves. Only similar size tea leaves are selected and then perfectly crafted until they can easily stack on top of one another.
