Premium Golden Monkey Black (Updated March 2025)

When you think of a good, everyday black tea from China nothing beats this Golden Monkey. Each leaf is hand-picked during the early spring season and carefully picked only one bud; giving it hints of spice notes with smooth creamy sweet cocoa flavors that are rich like malt balls in your mouth! They’re so soft too – as if they were coated softly by warm chocolate sauce? This delicate brew has just enough kick to make sure we know where our caffeine comes from without tasting bitter.

This black tea is mild and smooth, with a deep chocolate sweetness that builds up from the depth of each sip. If you’re a black tea drinker this is one black tea that is sure to become your next favorite black tea.

Brewing instructions: To enhance the sweetness and texture of this black tea, use about 3g in a 100ml gaiwan at 190ºF for approximately 30 seconds for the first infusion, then steep for 20 seconds and subsequently 30 seconds.

Origin: Fujian, China

Notes: Cocoa, Malt, Roasted Apple
