Tài Píng Hóu Kuí, consistently ends up on top Chinese tea lists, roughly means “Peace Monkey Chief.” You can recognize Tài Píng Hóu Kuí from its unique shape. The tea is two leaves and one bud, which is flattened and produces a long shape. After the firing process, Hóu Kuí tea is rolled between a cloth and a very fine mesh to flatten to their infamous shape. In recent years, Chairman Hu presented President Vladimir Putin when he visited Russia in 2007 as a national gift.
