Tai Ping Hou Kui, also known as Monkey King tea, is perhaps the most beautiful green tea of China. Indulge your taste buds with a sweet and Spring fresh aroma, followed by an after taste of warm chestnuts and subtle umami of seaweed.

This tea originates from the Hou Keng village in the mountainous region of Huang Shan of Anhui province. With its complex layers of flavors and peculiar aesthetic charm, Tai Ping Hou Kui is sure to fill you with joy every time you take an indulgent sip. No wonder this fine Chinese green tea was once reserved for the imperial court.

Brewing: 5g/100ml, 80°C, 20s, +5s.

Warmed-up dry leaves smell like watermelon rind, flowers and toasted hazelnuts. When wet, camphor and spinach notes appear.

The liquor is rich in leafy green vegetable flavours, complimented beautifully by a nutty aftertaste.

The product is as expected and they went out of their way to make sure I get my order because it was an international shipping which at some point seemed lost in translation; but they helped me track it down with my locals and all ended up great. thank you!

Great quality Tai Ping Hou Kui.

This green tea is my all time favourite tea, recently it has become harder to find in Europe for a good price, and I'm so happy that Teasenz was able to stock it for such a bargain. 13 euro for 70g is an amazing price nowadays and the offered quality is actually quite high. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest, good tea puts me in a good mood and this Taiping did just that.

Goede kwaliteit, goede bezorgservice en mooie website.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
