Excellent quality brew
I've been exploring different black teas, and this one stands out. The subtle sweetness combined with the mild walnut is really lovely. It’s a consistently smooth and invigorating cup.

About this item
This exceptional black tea is grown in Fujian Province, China. Hand-processed each Spring, they carefully pluck only the tender bud and first leaf of each tea plant. The leaves are lightly withered in the sun, then oxidized and dried. Its common name, Golden Monkey, is partially derived from the pale gold threading in the leaf, while the appearance of the tight, wiry leaves resemble a monkey's hand. Enjoy a rich, smooth cup with mild notes of walnut, hints of sweetness, and light cocoa finish.

Simply delicious
A truly refined and flavorful black tea.
★★★★☆
Enjoyable black tea
This black tea is definitely high quality. The taste is smooth and has a gentle sweetness. I find the caffeine level perfect for my mornings, though I wish the walnut flavor was a bit more pronounced.
★★★☆☆
Not my cup of tea
It's smooth, but I found the flavor profile a bit too subtle for my palate.
★★☆☆☆
Disappointed by the taste
I was looking for a rich black tea with distinct notes, but this one fell short. The taste is rather bland, and I don't really pick up on the walnut or cocoa mentioned. It's not bad, just very unexciting compared to other specialty teas I've tried. I won't be reordering these sachets.
