Golden Monkey tea from the Fujian province of China. Black Monkey tea is hand-processed each spring with a careful plucking of only one leaf and one bud. It is among the finest Chinese black teas available today. The name comes from its unique appearance: the leaves resemble monkey claws. It is used as a relatively high end gourmet black tea and can be used in various tea blends.Sweet a smoky aroma, this tea is smooth, robust, and delicately roasted in flavor.
