Tai Ping Hou Kui Tea Growing Environment:
Tai Ping Hou Kui is grown in the western reaches of Huang Shan’s mountain range in three villages in the Tai Ping
prefecture: Hou Keng, Hou Gan, Yan Jia. These villages surround a large lake that is kept full with a dam and sits
at an altitude of 700M above sea level. Here there is big difference in temperature between day and night, a
condition that is said to make a special flavor in tea. Humidity and fog from the lake create ideal moisture and shade
for tea plants, and the area’s soil is dark and mineral rich. Its fine grains are loose, well drained, and permeable, but
still retain moisture. Seventy-three percent of the gardens are grown on the back slope of the mountain, that is they are grown on the opposite side of the sun’s east-west path. The mountain is very steep and must be climbed to harvest and care for the tea, a demanding climb and descent.
These bushes are mostly shaded from direct sunlight. Tea grown under the shade will have increased nutrition and
sweetness.
What does the name of this fascinating tea mean?
the tea was first made famous. Houkeng means Monkey Pit, so called because it is a mountain valley where people
took shelter during wartime.The word "Kui" comes from the name of the tea farmer - Wang Kui Chen - who invented it in the early 19th century. Kui also means large or chief. High grade Chinese green tea is usually
small and delicate. Not the Hou Kui tea. It is celebrated for its large leaves and buds.
