Cultivated at the foot of the Huangshan Mountains in Anhui Province, Taiping Houkui has globally distinguished itself. Characterized by its distinctively elongated emerald leaves, described as fluttering softly when brewed in an enticing movement known as a ÔPhoenix dance. Flaunting light citric hues with a mellow aroma and exquisite orchid fragrance, the infusion leaves a lingering sweetness.

How To Make

What you need

Step 1: Temperature 80°

Step 2: Weigh 2.2g

Step 3: Time 1:15min

Step 4: Serve

Monkey Chief
Brewing Vessel (Teapot or Gaiwan)
Digital Kettle
Digital Scales
Timer / Watch
Serving Vessel
Spoon
Cup and Saucer

Heat the kettle to the desired temperature and pre-heat all the vessels, then discard the water.

If you don't have a temperature-controlled kettle or thermometer, add cold water to the tea before topping it with boiling water. We recommend 10% cold water for 90 degrees and 20% for 80 degrees. PLEASE NOTE: this is approximate, and different teaware materials will affect the outcome.

Weigh the appropriate amount of tea and add it to the pot. Pour the desired amount of pre-heated water over the leaves in a circular motion so the leaves unfurl and awaken.

Steep the leaves for the recommended time. If the leaves are tightly confined in the vessel, give a little stir to ensure maximum surface area is achieved.

Once the desired infusion time has finished, separate the leaves from the tea liquor by removing the infuser basket or by straining into a serving vessel.

Pour into a cup and serve.
