— Golden Monkey Tea
(Item No. B57107-1)
It is one of the finest black tea from the Fujian province of China. There are two interesting legends about the name of this tea: one says those tea bushes grow in lofty and precipitous peaks making them difficult to pluck the leaves so local people trained monkeys to do so; another comes from the leaf unique appearance, which looks like monkey claws. However, the particular tea is hand-processed with a careful plucking of only one leaf and one bud.

- It is one of the finest black tea from the Fujian province of China. There are two interesting legends about the name of this tea: one says those tea bushes grow in lofty and precipitous peaks making them difficult to pluck the leaves so local people trained monkeys to do so; another comes from the leaf unique appearance, which looks like monkey claws. However, the particular tea is hand-processed with a careful plucking of only one leaf and one bud. The dry leaf, comprising to tender young sprouts (‘Ya’ in Chinese), provides hints as to how the infused tea will smell and taste. Golden Monkey Tea produces ‘golden’ liquor and is very nicely balanced with rich and spicy exotic characters. It can be enjoyed eight hot or iced.
