There are many concepts with which one can select a tea: by the tea category, by region, by taste preference or by Traditional Chinese medicinal characters. Of course one can make reference of best customer reviews or our tea master’s recommendation too.
Taiping Houkui is produced from this special cultivar called Shidaye ( shi-da-yeh ). The name can be roughly translated as Persimmon Large Leaf. ( It has nothing to do with the fruit, though. ) It is the most visible commercial crop in the hilly landscape of Taiping, an hour and a half from Huangshan.
