Golden Monkey

Golden Monkey tea is grown at high 1200-meter altitudes in the Yunnan province. Here, the misty and cloudy mountainous environment creates a superior quality tea leaf that is the signature of monkey tea. 

This black tea is harvested by hand in the early spring by carefully plucking only one leaf and one bud. This tea is deep, smooth, and malty. The leaves resemble monkey paws or claws which may be one of the many reasons behind the name.

In ancient times, because this tea was so rare, it was believed to bestow powers similar to male golden monkeys. Another reason for the name stems from local stories that stated only monkeys could pluck the leaves because the tea was so difficult to reach in the rocky mountains. 

Golden Monkey loose-leaf tea comes in a canister with about 35 to 50 servings. The tea leaves can be enjoyed multiple times. Re-steep your tea leaves to experience the different nuanced flavors of this spectacular tea.
