Hailing from the misty mountains of Fujian Province, our Superfine Golden Monkey金猴絲閩紅茶，金駿眉紅 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.
In the cup, it delivers a rich, aromatic experience:
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.

Customer Reviews
Golden Monkey Superfine Tea.
This tea is really tasty and smooth , delicious, not bitter, with a naturally sweet taste. I’m a real tea fanatic and have a massive collection of teas from all over the world at home. I travel a lot for my job and have tried many loose teas from different countries, but this one is definitely one of my favourites. I’ve also bought tea from lots of companies in the UK and abroad, and I was pleasantly surprised by The China Tea Pot Company – great quality teas , reasonably priced and very quick despatch. I’d happily order from them again.
