About Tai Ping Hou Kui tea (monkey king tea):
Taiping Hou Kui tea is produced in Anhui's Hou Keng Village, Tai Ping County, in Anhui Province, China. The name 'Hou Kui Tea' is a combination of both its maker and producing area. In 1915, Taiping Hou Kui won a gold medal at the Panamanian World's Fair. After the founding of new China, in 1955, Taiping Hou Kui was chosen as one of China's top ten most famous green teas in China, but everything from the look of the leaves to the packing style differs greatly from the norm.

The absolute highest grades of Tai Ping Hou Kui will feature leaves that exceed 15cm in length and are picked in perfectly identical sizes and bound together with cotton string. Another hallmark feature of Tai Ping Hou Kui is the grid pattern visible on each leaf that comes from the pressing during production; something that is always done by hand, not machine.
