Description
Golden Monkey is a black tea with exquisite flavor. This Chinese tea beams with depth and layers. Hints of honey hit your taste buds and ends on a pine nut finish. The aroma is mouthwatering, creamy and velvety.
Golden Monkey tea is aptly named when there is a certain percentage of gold tips. Gold tips consist of the new buds on the tea plant which adds flavor and complexity to a tea. This tea is traditionally from Fujian and Yunnan provinces. This particular black tea comes from a 70 year old family owned farm in Fujian. This tea is so good, we decided to occasionally offer Golden Eyebrows Jin Jun Mei, another Golden Monkey style tea.
The leaf is twisted and tippy. A characteristically bold tea with a full body.
