The name of Golden Monkey Tea (Jin Hou Wang, 金猴王) indicates the care that has been taken in producing this rare tea. The curled golden brown form of these tea leaves resembles a monkey’s paw. In local folklore, it is said to have been picked by golden monkeys from tea trees up the high karst Fujian mountains.
Another legend has it that this black tea was very popular with local Chinese landlords and taipans, who believed the tea gave them the strength and virility attributed to male golden monkeys.
This Golden Monkey tea is a classic Jin Hou black tea that prides itself on a delightfully rich, brown nectar and a wonderful enduring malty caramel finish. Flavours that bring you joy every day with every cup you take.

I really enjoyed this tea — rich, smooth, and satisfying. The small cakes make it very convenient to brew the right strength. I especially liked the effect: it put me in a calm, focused state for a couple of hours — perfect for work and deep thinking.
