“Monkey Chief of Tai Ping.” Teas of a similar shape—featuring sharp, pointed, large leaves—have been produced in the Tai Ping region since the 12th century. In the 19th century, during the Qing dynasty, a tea grower developed a new cultivar and named it “Hou Kui – Monkey Chief.”

The tea has flat, fairly large leaves of bright green color with red veining and a hairy inner surface. As one of the few green teas, it possesses a distinct orchid-like quality in both flavor and aroma. The infusion has a slightly milky texture and a delicate taste, with an orchid-scented aftertaste. This tea, rightfully counted among the ten most famous Chinese green teas, can help relax after physical exertion, stimulate the nervous system, and provide a gentle tonifying effect.
