Description

Golden Monkey tea comes from the north in China's Fujian province. It features large black tea leaves interspersed with golden tips. It produces a lightly sweet and 'round' cup of tea with a nice level of complexity. You'll enjoy the hints of apricot, nuts, and rose.

Details: This is a fairly recently developed tea from the north of Fujian. Mike found it when visiting a few factories outside of Panyang and Fuan. In a short time, it has attracted a loyal, almost cult-like following. People love the flavors of Golden Monkey, as well as the name.

Dry Leaves: Mostly golden tips with some long, slender black leaves.

Liquor: Pecan brown.

Aroma: Lightly sweet, with hints of apricot and nut, with hints of rose. Maybe even some cocoa notes.

Flavors: A blend of cooked stone fruit, such as baked apricots, and the dry but slight sugariness of semisweet chocolate. A mellow, nutty finish of roasted pecans.
