This photo shows a batch of Taiping Hou Kui of unknown origin. Taiping Hou Kui is a peculiar type of Chinese green tea with very long leaves...these leaves were about 2-3 inches in length. The flavor of this tea is as interesting as the appearance of the dry leaf. This one was much better than the previous sample I tried, which was from Upton Tea Imports.

Thank you to Evan Draper of Pluck Tea for this one.
