Black Monkey
Available Size: 100g Refill Pouch (40+ cups)
Hailed as one of the top 10 Chinese teas, this legendary black tea, steeped in ancient lore and imperial exclusivity, is a true masterpiece. Originating during the Song Dynasty, it was crafted as an Imperial tribute, featuring golden-tipped black leaves that are meticulously handprocessed into the unique shape of monkey paws. This tea offers a smooth, golden liquor with rich and complex cocoa undertones. Despite being extremely low in tannins, it delivers a deep and satisfying flavour. Grown at an elevation of approximately 1700 metres, this tea embodies both tradition and excellence.
