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.
Origin: Fujian, China
Notes: Cocoa, Malt, Roasted Apple

Marie loves the Golden Monkey and it's only one she really likes.
I tried a couple of other companies when my usual source for Golden Monkey ran out and I thought I would try Tea and Whisk. And I'm so glad I did. It got to me quickly and the flavor is amazing. I would recommend them to anyone!
What a great tea. Has a nice sweet finish.
