The best seal and store in the refrigerator (0-10℃ )The water used to steep this tea should be about 160-180°F or 70-80°C. Use about 2 teaspoons (3 grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 milliliters) of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes with more or less time is recommended depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the hotter the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. The use of a covered glass or ceramic cup is recommended for steeping in order to appreciate the tea leaves. ABout Tai Ping Hou Kui TeaTai Ping Hou Kui rests among the ten most famous green teas in China, but everything from the look of the leaves to the packing style differs greatly from the norm. The absolute highest grades of Tai Ping Hou Kui will feature leaves that exceed 15cm in length and are picked in perfectly identical sizes and bound together with cotton string. Another hallmark feature of Tai Ping Hou Kui is the grid pattern visible on each leaf that comes from the pressing during production; something that is always done by hand, not machine. All other green teas are prized for their selected makeup of a small top-bud and leaf combination. Older and larger leaves picked lower down usually have unfavorable tastes and looks. Tai Ping Hou Kui is the different, with an unbelievably clean and refreshing taste along with a light grassy aroma. The unusually large bud and leaf combination is specific to only this area of Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain) in Anhui province. The leaves can produce several infusions that maintain the deliciously green flavor and offer a great sight to behold with the enormous leaves standing upright in the glass. This is a very high grade with reasonable leaf uniformity and few broken leaves. Leaf sizes range from 6-10cm each!More ... NativeTai-ping CountyAppearancestalwart, flat, both ends pointed, dark-green with dim reddish veinBrewclear green, orchid fragranceWaterboiling Won gold medal in Panama Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, in 1915, and listed in top-ten Chinese teas in 1955, Hou Kui Tea has been celebrated for its unique style - coarse in appearance and mellow in brew. The name 'Hou Kui Tea' is a combination of both its maker and producing area. The word 'Hou' refers to Hou Keng Village where the highest grade of this tea is made and the word 'Kui' refers to a tea-grower Wang Kui-cheng who made this tea by improving the processing of a local green tea 'Jian Cha' around 1900. The harvest starts from March to the beginning of May. The standard picking is one shoot with three young leaves which are then processed without hand-rolling. There are three grades in this green tea and its production is limited around Hou Keng Village. Tai-ping County is situated at the northern foot of Mt. Yellow, which was listed The World Nature and Culture Heritage by UNESCO in 1990. The lingering mist and dense forest in the valley provide favorable growing-condition for tea.
