Taiping Houkui

Shida cultivar

One of China's Ten Famous Teas, Taiping Houkui is made near Huangshan City in Anhui. Its exceptionally long, flat leaves, often 6 to 8 centimeters, are the largest of any premium green tea, and each is hand-pressed between mesh screens into a distinctive cross-hatch pattern. The infusion is bright and clear with a smooth orchid fragrance, a clean vegetal sweetness, and a lingering floral finish free of astringency, carrying a caffeine near 18 milligrams. Two leaves clasping one bud are picked in April between 400 and 800 meters. The dramatic leaf, striking when steeped in a tall glass, is as much a signature as the flavor.
