Golden Monkey

This exceptional black tea is grown in Fujian Province, China. Hand-processed each Spring. they carefully pluck only the tender bud and first leaf of each tea plant. The leaves are lightly withered in the sun, then oxidized and dried. Its common name, Golden Monkey, is partially derived from the pale gold threading in the leaf, while the appearance of the tight, wiry leaves resemble a monkey's hand. Enjoy a rich, smooth cup with mild notes of walnut, hints of sweetness, and light cocoa finish.
