Spring Taiping Houkui

This exquisite Taiping Houkui unfurls a delicate aroma of fresh orchids and sweet chestnuts. The liquor is bright and clear, offering a smooth, vegetal taste with a gentle sweetness and a lingering, c. It leans orchid, chestnut and fresh.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in Anhui, China. This batch is from the Spring 2026 harvest.
