Category: Tea

This exceptional black tea is grown in Fujian Province, China. Hand-processed each Spring, they carefully pluck only the tender bud and first leaf of each tea plant. The leaves are lightly withered in the sun, then oxidized and dried. Its common name, Golden Monkey, is partially derived from the pale gold threading in the leaf, while the appearance of the tight, wiry leaves resemble a monkey's hand. Enjoy a rich, smooth cup with mild notes of walnut, hints of sweetness, and light cocoa finish.

Olivia ★★★★★ Oct 18, 2026

The first leaf and bud make for a noticeably smoother cup than standard black teas. I've been enjoying the light, natural sweetness it brings without any bitterness.

Charlotte ★★★★★ Oct 17, 2026

Brewed up a cup this morning and the liquor is a beautiful amber color with a smooth, malty taste. The fact that only the bud and first leaf are hand-plucked really shows in the clean, refined flavor. Definitely my new go-to for a morning black tea.

The dry leaves are long and golden-tipped, and they hold up for a good three steeps without going bitter. Sweet, malty, a little like cocoa — I've been drinking it every morning for a week.
