Golden Monkey is a floral black tea from Sichuan, reminiscent of a combination of Golden Eyebrows (Jin Jun Mei) and Qimen Maofeng, with a little cocoa, a little fruity, and a little rosy notes. It is a good daily tea, but with notes of exclusive black teas from Eastern China. Whether brewed simply and quickly in a bowl, a cup, or in the elaborate Gongfucha style, this tea offers a pleasant aroma and taste without bitterness.
The tea is organic and free of pesticides (test report available upon request).
