Tea Story

Golden Monkey, a distinctive tea from Yunnan Province, is an elegant blend that unites the richness of black tea with the lightness of white tea. It is crafted from the buds of Assamica tea plants, a variety renowned for producing delicate yet flavorful teas in the high-altitude regions of Yunnan.

The combination of tender buds and the unique terroir of the province results in a tea that is both smooth and complex, with the ability to evoke both a comforting warmth and a refreshing finish.

Yunnan, often referred to as the birthplace of tea, is a region known for its diverse climate and soil conditions, which lend themselves perfectly to the cultivation of high-quality tea. Golden Monkey is part of a tradition that stretches back centuries in this ancient tea-growing region, where the production of Dianhong (Yunnan black tea) is revered. 

This tea brews into a rich yet mellow liquor, offering malty sweetness and baked notes, with a subtle menthol finish that provides a sense of refreshment after each sip.

Golden Monkey is perfect for those who appreciate the delicate balance between the deeper, malty elements of black tea and the soft, airy notes reminiscent of white tea.
