Golden Monkey Imperial Black Tea

Description:

Also known as Jin Hou (Golden Monkey), this celebrated black tea from Fujian Province is crafted from tender spring leaves and abundant golden buds. Its distinctive golden-tipped leaves produce a remarkably smooth, naturally sweet cup that has earned Golden Monkey a place among China's most treasured black teas.

Expect a full-bodied infusion with notes of cocoa, toasted grain, and buttery sweetness, balanced by a velvety texture and a long, satisfying finish. Rich without bitterness, it is an elegant everyday luxury for lovers of fine black tea.

Tea Expert Note: Despite its playful name, Golden Monkey contains no monkey-related ingredients. Legend says the slender, golden-tipped leaves resemble the paws of a golden monkey, inspiring one of China's most memorable tea names.

An Excellent Blend

I've had Golden Monkey Tea from several different tea suppliers. This ranks as one of the best. It's a great afternoon tea - bold, with subtle spicy notes, but not overpowering.
