Hailing from the misty mountains of Fujian Province, our Superfine Golden Monkey is a luxurious black tea crafted from the delicate buds and first leaves of Fuding Pekoe. This celebrated tea undergoes traditional processing — including light sun withering, gentle rolling, controlled fermentation, and careful drying — to preserve its complex character and smooth texture.
A tea of distinction, Golden Monkey was famously served at the White House in 2011 during a meeting between the Presidents of the United States and China, a testament to its exceptional quality and cultural significance.

This is a tea for those who appreciate nuance—bold yet balanced, it can deliver multiple infusions without losing its depth. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or exploring fine black teas, Golden Monkey is a captivating and rewarding brew.
