‘Monkey King' Tai Ping Hou Kui is named after its main producing area Hou Keng ("Monkey Village"), Tai Ping County of Anhui Province. "Kui" is the name of the inventor of the tea and also means the best one, or the top. The tea won gold medal in the 1915's Panama Pacific Exposition and is listed as China's Famous Tea.
The tea can only be picked 2 weeks a year. Normally tea producers pick small buds and new leaves, but Tai Ping Hou Kui pickers pick large leaves which are 7 to 15cm in length. The leaves are fried to kill the oxidizing enzymes and then are pressed between clothes and fully dried in an oven. It's renowned for its "two knives and one pole": two straight leaves clasping the bud with white fuzz. The fresh and mellow taste comes with elegant aroma which is known as "monkey rhyme".
