Ping Shui Zhu Cha:

Back-track 3 centuries to when Qing China was still grand and tea was a respectable drink, zhu cha ( pearl tea ) from Ping Shui — the town of Serene Water — approached the price of gold when auctioned in London. As popularity grew, compromised products took over the market and resulted in those greyish bad taste that is known as “gunpowder” today. Tea Hong revives the original sweet tasting jewel of green teas in the same revered and enjoyable quality in the cups of the gentiles in both East and West in the good old days, but at a far more democratically accessible price.

    Mastery in wok-roasted green tea

    The special taste profile of a classic Longjing demands not only a fine harvest from a genuine pedigree, but also the mastery of hand-roasting the leaves. To attain such a skill takes the willingness to endure years of hard practice*. On top of that, a fine Longjing is perhaps the most sought after tea in its native market that is China, and there are people there that are willing to pay thousands for half a kilo of this tea. As a result, good roasting masters are in high demand. A good master producing with top quality harvests is even more rare. To secure a genuinely high quality is therefore a very challenging task. More so at the accessible price we are offering at. Tea Hong's Longjing Traditional Supreme is a proud representation of the best quality of this precious craft, a taste that would have won nobles and mandarins in their tea competition, and when the Qing Emperor Qianlong was still young and flamboyant, and crazy about this tea.

    Small batch charcoal baked

    For those more demanding connoisseurs who want to enjoy the beautiful and unique appearance of Taiping Houkui, this supreme traditional quality delivers the most enjoyable taste profile of this variety. Produced from a unique cultivar — Shidaye, Houkui is a green tea many times the size of any other. It is also different in taste. Much lighter in astringency and not bitter at all, yet substantially velvety in tactility, when infused properly. Tea Hong's Taiping Houkui Traditional is masterfully hand processed from only the best first flush in the origin and optimally baked to manifest the tea's  complex lightness and floral characters using a wood-charcoal made by the tea master himself. «Read more»  Delta classInfusion colorTCM Cold Net weight: 40 g (1.4 oz) in wide Kraft-alu pack

明前、平水珠茶

Taste profile

Soft, floral, and yet warm aroma on a base of cooked peas with hints of herbs. Silky soft infusion that is slightly sweet and tinkling with minute touches of fresh herbs and cream. Sweet aftertaste.

Infusion tips

Best taste results achievable in a gaiwan, small teapot, or infuser mug, all preferably made of porcelain. If you like to look at the unfurling of the beads into dancing young leaves and therefore prefer glass, use one with a spherical body, rather than cylindrical or a shallow one. That’s for optimising taste.
