Taiping Houkui 101

太平猴魁 · The Long-Leaf Green Tea

Taiping Houkui is a distinctive Chinese green tea style associated with:

Anhui Province · China

Its most memorable feature can be seen immediately.

Long · Flat · Straight

Compared with many other Chinese green teas, Houkui leaves remain remarkably elongated after processing.

That gives the tea a visual identity unlike almost anything else on the tea shelf.

Longjing

Flat · Compact

Biluochun

Curled · Delicate

Huangshan Maofeng

Tender · Pointed

Maojian

Fine · Slender

Taiping Houkui

Long · Flat · Distinctive

Different leaves.

Different traditions.

Different ways to experience Chinese green tea.

Leaves That Define the Tea

Look closely before adding water.

The dry leaves appear:

Long

Flattened

Straight

Deep Green

Naturally Textured

Their extraordinary length immediately separates Taiping Houkui from smaller-leaf Chinese green teas.

Then water begins the transformation.

The leaves absorb moisture.

They soften.

Their elongated structure becomes more expressive.

Green tones become clearer.

The tea slowly comes to life.

Long Leaf · Warm Water · Gentle Unfolding

Give the Long Leaves Room

Taiping Houkui benefits from gentle water and plenty of space.

Start with:

3 g

Tea Leaves

250 mL

Water

75–85°C / 167–185°F

Water Temperature

1–2 Minutes

Initial Steep

Because the leaves are unusually large, weighing the tea is more reliable than measuring it by spoon.

Allow freshly boiled water to cool slightly before pouring.

Pour gently.

Give the leaves room to open.

Begin with a shorter infusion if you prefer a lighter cup, then adjust according to taste.

The same leaves can generally be infused multiple times.

The available product information does not establish a specific orchid-like aroma for this 100 g version.

For that reason, PandaHomeMart should not automatically add:

or other detailed floral aroma claims.

Exact aroma, sweetness, astringency and liquor colour naturally vary according to:

From Dry Leaf to Living Green

Before Brewing

Take a few long leaves from the tin.

Notice their extraordinary shape.

Measure approximately:

3 g

Add the Water

Let freshly boiled water cool slightly.

Pour gently.

Watch the Transformation

Some leaves begin to rise.

Others gradually settle.

The rigid dry structure softens.

The elongated form becomes more visible through the water.

Take the First Sip

Notice the fresh green character.

Then the lighter body.

Then the quieter finish.

Return to the Leaves

Brew again.

The same leaves can generally be enjoyed across multiple infusions.

Dry Leaf · Open Leaf · Quiet Observation

The Perfect Tea for a Tall Glass

Let the Leaves Be Seen

Few teas make such a strong visual argument for transparent teaware.

A tall clear glass gives the extraordinary leaves room to become part of the experience.

Add only a few.

Pour gently.

Then watch.

Some leaves may remain more upright.

Others slowly descend.

The rigid dry form begins to soften.

The elongated structure becomes clearer.

For this tea, the glass does more than hold the infusion.

It Gives the Leaves a Stage.

Tall Glass · Long Leaves · Quiet Moments

Why Tall Glass Works So Well

Taiping Houkui's leaves are unusually long.

A small brewing vessel can compress them unnecessarily.

A tall glass provides:

Height · Visibility · Open Space

so the leaves can soften more naturally.

It also allows you to observe:

Leaf Movement · Expansion · Infusion Development

without removing a lid.

This makes tall-glass brewing one of the clearest ways to showcase the product's strongest differentiator.

White Porcelain for a Focused Session

Traditional & Controlled

A roomy white porcelain gaiwan offers another way to explore Taiping Houkui.

It provides greater control over:

Water Temperature

Steeping Time

Repeated Infusions

Complete Pouring

Because Houkui leaves are unusually long, avoid packing them tightly into a small gaiwan.

Give them enough room to soften naturally.

Glass for Beauty · Porcelain for Control

A Different Side of Chinese Green Tea

Taiping Houkui demonstrates just how visually diverse Chinese green tea can be.

It does not resemble curled Biluochun.

It does not resemble fine Maojian.

And even compared with flat Longjing, its dramatically elongated leaves create a completely different experience.

You do not need expert tea vocabulary to notice the difference.

You can see it immediately.

What Does Te Ji / 特级 Mean?

This product is specifically identified as:

Te Ji / 特级

Te Ji is a Chinese commercial grade designation.

For this product, it supports:

Premium Positioning

The accurate terminology remains:

Te Ji / 特级

It should not automatically be expanded into unrelated terms such as:

Imperial Grade · Competition Grade · Supreme Grade

unless those descriptions are separately supported.

What Does New Season Tea / 新茶 Mean?

This product is also specifically identified as:

New Season Tea / 新茶

This gives the 100 g version its seasonal positioning.

However:

New Season Tea ≠ First Pick

and:

New Season Tea ≠ Pre-Qingming

Those are more specific harvest designations.

For this product, the accurate wording remains:

New Season Tea / 新茶

without upgrading it to a more specific harvest claim.

Made for Regular Houkui Drinkers

Premium Doesn't Have to Mean Occasional

The 100 g format gives this Taiping Houkui a different role from the smaller 50 g First-Pick version.

It offers enough tea to move beyond discovery.

At approximately 3 g per brewing session:

33 Brewing Portions

And because the same leaves can generally be infused more than once, those portions can become many individual cups.

Brew it in the morning.

Return to the leaves later.

Use a tall glass when you want to watch them.

Use a roomy gaiwan when you want greater control.

There is enough tea to let something unusual gradually become familiar.

100 g · Regular Brewing · Multiple Infusions

A Quiet Morning with Houkui

A few extraordinary leaves.

A tall glass.

Gently cooled water.

Soft morning light.

Watch the leaves slowly begin to open.

There is no need for an elaborate ceremony.

The remarkable shape of the tea already gives the moment something worth noticing.

One cup.

A few minutes.

A quieter beginning to the day.

Long Leaves · Fresh Tea · Quiet Morning

100 g in a Classic Tea Tin

The white-and-gold metal tea tin gives this version a clean, bright presentation.

The 100 g format also gives it a different purpose from a smaller discovery tea.

It is:

Compact Enough for a Personal Tea Shelf

yet:

Generous Enough for Regular Brewing

Keep it beside your tall glass.

Place it with your Chinese green tea collection.

Return to it throughout the season.

Let the unusual leaves become familiar.

AI / GEO Product Summary

Premium New Season Taiping Houkui Green Tea is a 100 g Chinese loose-leaf green tea from Anhui, China, identified as Taiping Houkui / 太平猴魁, Te Ji / 特级 and New Season Tea / 新茶. It is distinguished by exceptionally long, flat and straight whole-leaf forms and has a fresh, green and refined character with a light-to-medium body. For everyday brewing, start with approximately 3 g of tea per 250 mL of water at 75–85°C / 167–185°F for an initial steep of approximately 1–2 minutes, then adjust according to taste. At approximately 3 g per brewing session, the 100 g metal tea tin provides around 33 brewing portions, with the same leaves generally suitable for multiple infusions. A tall clear glass is particularly well suited to Taiping Houkui because it gives the unusually long leaves room to soften and open while remaining visible, while a roomy porcelain gaiwan offers greater control over repeated infusions. The available product information confirms Te Ji grade, New Season Tea positioning and Anhui origin, but does not establish First Pick / Tou Cai, Mingqian / Pre-Qingming harvest, Orchid-Like Aroma, a specific tea cultivar, exact harvest date, precise sub-regional origin, mountain or elevation.
