Features:
Tai Ping Kui Hong is a refined black tea innovatively developed in recent years in the Huangshan region of Anhui, China. Crafted from the original Tai Ping Houkui (Shidacha) tea cultivar, it combines the floral and fruity fragrance of green tea with the depth and smoothness of fine black tea.
Produced only once a year between mid-April and early May, the tea is handpicked and processed following the traditional four-step Qimen black tea technique—withering, rolling, fermentation, and roasting—carefully refined to enhance its aroma and texture.
Its dry leaves are slender, tightly rolled, and glossy dark, resembling dragon whiskers, and its limited production makes it highly prized among connoisseurs.
Flavor and Texture:
Tai Ping Kui Hong delivers a distinctive balance between freshness and richness.
The infusion reveals layers of orchid, honey, and dried fruit aromas, unfolding gradually with each steep.
The liquor is bright amber-red with golden hues, clear and luminous.
On the palate, it is sweet, smooth, and full-bodied, offering a lingering fruity aftertaste and a refreshing mouthfeel.
The brewed leaves are thick, resilient, and elastic, reflecting careful craftsmanship and exceptional leaf quality.
Health Benefits:
Rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and amino acids, Tai Ping Kui Hong supports overall wellness and vitality.
It helps refresh the mind, aid digestion, and promote metabolism, while its gentle sweetness and moderate caffeine content make it suitable for daily balance and relaxation.
Perfect for those seeking both the freshness of green tea and the depth of black tea in a single, harmonious cup.
