This tea was harvested on April 28th, after "Gu Yu" (Grain festival) which begins on April 20th. This Taiping Hou Kui was entirely harvested and manufactured by hand. We distinguish the imprint of the sieves used for the flat shaping of the leaves. Only 500g per day and per person are produced. This is truly an exceptional product. Brewing advice: The best way to prepare this tea is to take a pinch in a glass and pour simmering water (90°C). Wait a few minutes for the tea to steep and enjoy! Regardless of how long, the tea will not become too astringent. Once your glass is empty, fill it again with simmering water, Taiping Hou Kui stands very well several infusions.

KNOW-HOW & QUALITY

Teas canisters and infusions

Selection of teas and infusions
Selection of teas and infusions

All our teas and the plants used in infusions are selected through the seasons by our buyers, directly from our producers. All products are chosen for both their visual appearance and their organoleptic qualities. Compliance tests are then commissioned from a COFRAC-accredited external, independent laboratory before any orders are placed.

Factory reception
Factory reception

Once received, batches are placed in quarantine while we carry out two more tests. The first is an organoleptic test completed by our specialists (taste, smell and visual). The second comprises a series of analyses at a COFRAC.-accredited, independent, external lab.

Manuel sorting
Manual and machine sorting

At our factory, we have developed special optical sorting and dusting equipment for our raw ingredients. Delicate items are sorted by hand.

Packaging in metal boxes
Packaging in metal boxes
