 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.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: Medium-bodied
 Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes
 Brewing Temp: 212º
