TaijiPanda Afeng · Taiping Houkui Green Tea — Orchid Fragrance, Premium Gift Box, 2026 Spring Harvest

Most green teas whisper. This one speaks clearly.

Taiping Houkui — 太平猴魁, "Peaceful Monkey King" — is unlike any other green tea in China. Where most greens are delicate and retiring, Houkui is bold and unmistakable: flat leaves up to six centimetres long, two leaves embracing a single bud, pressed flat and dried with a distinctive crosshatch pattern that marks every leaf like a fingerprint.

It is the largest green tea in China. It is also, many would argue, the most complex.

Grown in the mist-shrouded valleys of Taiping County in Anhui Province — the same mountains that give the world Huangshan — Houkui has been a tribute tea since the Qing Dynasty. Emperors drank it. Poets wrote about it. And once you have smelled its fragrance — deep, floral, unmistakably orchid — you will understand why.

  The orchid fragrance — not a hint, not a suggestion; a full, clear, natural orchid scent that rises from the cup before you even take a sip; it is the first thing everyone notices and the thing they remember longest
• The size — each leaf is extraordinary in its dimensions; holding a single Houkui leaf is like holding a small piece of the mountain itself
• The taste — smooth, full-bodied for a green tea, with a natural sweetness and a finish that lingers; there is no bitterness here, only depth
• The crosshatch — the distinctive pressed pattern on each leaf is not decoration; it is the mark of the traditional processing method, applied by hand, that gives Houkui its characteristic texture and helps the leaf release its fragrance slowly and completely

✦ The High-Grade Gift Box

Houkui's extraordinary appearance makes it one of the most visually striking teas to give as a gift. The long, flat leaves arranged in the tin or box look like nothing else in the tea world — and the moment the recipient opens it and the orchid fragrance rises, the gift is already complete.

This box is designed for the occasion that deserves something genuinely remarkable: Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn, Chinese New Year, a promotion, a retirement, a thank-you that words cannot adequately express.

✦ How Afeng Brews It

A tall glass, so you can watch the leaves stand upright in the water — Houkui is one of the few teas that performs as beautifully as it tastes. Water at 85°C. Three minutes. Then sit with the fragrance before you drink. Let the orchid do its work.

At TaijiPanda, we believe the finest teas are not consumed — they are experienced. Houkui is an experience.

The Monkey King chose the highest peaks. So did this tea. So should you.

Join the Monthly Blessing Journey

Every month, we journey to ancient temples and Taoist sanctuaries across China — lighting incense, offering prayers, and carrying the intentions of our members into sacred spaces. Those who walk with us for six months or more will receive, at year’s end, a curated collection of sacred tokens gathered from the altars and shrines along our path — small objects that hold the memory of incense smoke, mountain silence, and whispered prayers. Each piece travels from a place of stillness to find its way to you.

If you seek inner peace, a deeper connection to your truest self, and the timeless wisdom of the Tao, we warmly invite you to join the Taiji Sleep Monthly Blessing Membership. For the full story of what awaits you on this journey, we invite you to visit the membership page. Discover the Journey →🕯️🏮☯️
