Organic Golden Monkey (Jin Hou), a Chinese black tea from small terraced gardens in CangYuan Township, Yunnan Province, near the Myanmar border, at 600 to 1,500 meters. Only the bud and first leaf are picked, and full oxidation produces the golden tips that give the tea its color. It's sweet and fruity, with jasmine, melon and orange peko

Lovely Tea
I was never a fan of tea until more recently when I tried a blended tea. Since it was no longer available I decided to try Little Red Cup. To my utter delight, this is the best tea so far. I tried Golden Monkey since it was part of my blended tea. It is mellow and smooth. It felt velvety. I love it! There was no need to add anything else. I will need to watch it because it does have caffeine and I will find me another tea I can drink more of in the afternoon. Thank you so much, I have told several people about your tea. This will also make a great gift for tea drinkers. Thank you again!

Great tea, good vibe
Love the personal link Mike brings to this tea store. Golden Monkey gets me started every morning now.

Perfect start to the day
No better way to step into morning than with a cup of tea. I might be unorthodox and have no idea if what I’m doing fits the tea-world but it fits mine — a pinch of Golden Monkey with a generous spoonful of Wuyuan Black. Steep four minutes. Add honey and cream. Best enjoyed with a book or quietly watching the day get to its feet.
