Monkey Kui, one of the famous teas in China, is called Taiping Monkey Kui. Its main producing areas are located in Houkeng, Hougang and Yan Jia, Sanmen Village, Xinming Township. Its finished tea is flat and straight, and its two leaves stretch naturally, which is known as "the monkey head is pointed at both ends, and it does not spread but does not roll".

Taiping Monkey Kui is the best in fried tea and has a long-standing reputation. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Kuicheng, a tea farmer in Monkey Pit, carefully selected fat and tender tea leaves in the Fenghuang River tea garden and made Wang Kuijian, now called "Kuijian". Because the Kui Jian produced in Monkey Pit is of high quality, it is named "Monkey Kui". Its dry tea is slightly sharp at both ends, flat and even, plump and firm, with white hair all over the body, lush and inconspicuous, containing but not revealing, and light green color. Brewing in a cup, the bud leaves slowly spread out and spread into flowers, and two leaves hold a bud, either hanging or sinking; The tea soup in Gao Shuang is green and fragrant.

Processing technology of Taiping houkui tea;

1, pick the tip

The picking length of Taiping Houkui tea changed from 5~7cm to 7~8cm, and some even reached more than 9cm. Because of the change of length, it is no longer required that fresh leaves have only one bud and two leaves, but fresh leaves with uniform length of one bud and two leaves and one bud and three leaves are selected.

Step 2 spread out

Some tea farmers extended the sowing time.

3. It is being repaired.

Traditional flat-mouth deep pot and automatic water pot coexist, but the automatic water pot is gradually replacing the traditional flat-mouth deep pot.

4. Plastic surgery

It is also the improvement period, but in recent years, some production areas have begun to use the monkey head molding machine. At the beginning of the setting machine, the feeding still needs manual assistance, and the efficiency improvement is not obvious. With the development of technology, especially the application of artificial intelligence and visual recognition technology, feeding can be automated, and this machine is expected to replace manual trimming and shaping, which will greatly reduce the production cost of Taiping Hericium erinaceus.

Step 5 bake

Basically, baking in a baking cage is no longer used, but all drawer-type multi-layer ovens are used, and electricity is used as energy. The specific application is the same as the improvement period.
