Tai Ping Hou Kui (太平猴魁) is an original green tea with an unusual shape, meaning "Monkey Leader from Tai Ping." This hand-crafted tea is made by laying out the leaves on a special mesh and pressing them, resulting in its distinctive form.
Aroma: Bright and honeyed, with a characteristic orchid note.
Taste: Rich, thick, broth-like, yet soft and smooth without astringency. It has a pleasant sweet aftertaste.
Effect: Refreshing and invigorating.
Harvest: spring 2026, Anhui Province, China.
Brewing: Do not break the leaves! If they don’t fit in your teapot, simply pour hot water over them. They will soften and fit perfectly. We recommend brewing in a tall glass or a porcelain gaiwan. Cool the water to 70–80°C. Enjoy watching the beautiful dance of the long leaves in the water!

im very satisfied with the cup, 😊 thanks
I bought Rou Gui Gao Shan at Tea Gallery, and it pleasantly surprised me with how it evolves over multiple infusions. By the third brew, the aroma becomes fuller and deeper, revealing a rich body with gentle sweetness, subtle berry notes, and light woody undertones. The classic Rou Gui profile—often associated with cinnamon-like spice, warm minerality, and a distinctive “rock” character (yan yun)—is present here as well, but in a smooth and well-balanced way. The aftertaste is long, with a refined balance between warmth and freshness. It’s the kind of tea that truly shines over extended sessions—perfect for long, relaxed evenings in good company.
This tea is honestly GOATed. We call it "endless / infinite tea", just because of HOW MUCH you can extract from it... With the right conditions and not too hot of a water, we've been genuinely drinking it for hours, and I feel like we never fully finished it... definitely worth it's money
Прекрасный чай. Всем советую заглянуть в этот магазинчик.
Bought it as a gift to my dear friend, and he’s now the happiest man on earth. He rates it as “10 out of 5” and “every day I use it, and every day I’m happy”
Genuinely one of the best red teas I’ve ever tried. The texture, the aroma and the flavour is just outstanding. It is visually pleasing, lasts for many infusions, and a bit expensive
Очень приятный вкус, тонкий аромат, мягкое расслабление без сонливости
