Taiping Houkui 2026

Finally got around to try Taiping Houkui, this batch comes from it's home region briefly it is excellent.

It reminds quite a lot of Longjing but that nutty note is there but less prominent.

It makes rather gentle brew requires long steeping times flavour is both grassy, vegetal and umami in harmony with not a hint of astringency.

Very balanced and easy drinking tea.
