Taiping Houkui 2024

This tea is instantly recognized by its long, flattened and textured leaf shape - very unique in comparison to other teas. Grown in a protected area and using a specific cultivar, production of this tea is labor intensive as the leaves are hand-rolled into the thin, slender shapes called niejian. These leaves are not only unusually large and thin, the leaves also have texture on them.
