Golden Monkey from Harney & Sons

This is not much of a review as I was not able to give this my full attention today. This is mostly to say publicly how much I appreciate the kindness of Ashmanra. Your sending me this wonderful tea out of the blue came at the perfect time. The work day was so stressful I literally wanted to curl up in a little ball in a corner and just rock. Not real manly, but you can only take so many firey darts before you need to catch a break. This tea helped me hang on to what little sanity I have left.

This is really good. Beautiful to look at. Sweet and malty. Carmel and mild sweet taters. This is Bailin Gonfu meets Dian Hong golden tips, get married and have a kid… A wild child! Ashmanra in her note to me called this tea the Batman of teas. I say, to the Batcave! For more of this.

So glad you liked it, and that it was timely! You must have had the Bat signal shining last night.

Some days, you just feel like a ham hock dangling in an aquarium full of pirhanas. Hope there was a little hock left at the end of your day.

Went to praise band practice tonight and knocked the dust off the neighbors rafters :) Learned four new to us songs. Feeling a lot better now.
