The flavour profile of golden monkey tea is characterised by light honeyed peach notes and it's lack of astringency. This tea is highly prized - it finished in second place in the 'hot tea class' of the 2009 World Tea Championship. This tea is hand-processed each spring by carefully plucking its leaves and buds. It is considered one of the finest black teas available. The name of the tea comes from the leaves that resemble monkey claws. Golden Monkey leaves are grown at the altitudes of 1200 metres. This tea comes from the Yunnan province; a mountainous cloudy and misty province.
