Product Overview
The name does not refer to a particular type of tea, but Monkey Picked Tea (not by plantation workers) comes from the leaves of wild tea plants that grow in inaccessible places, such as on high cliff faces, so to harvest them people train special monkeys. The tea is very highly fragrant and is lower in tannins than other teas, and rich in antioxidants, the tea has a pale golden colour when brewed and is best served without milk, to taste its full delicate flavour.
