TehKu Golden Monkey

Black Tea by TehKu

“This Chinese black tea from the Fujian region offers an extraordinarily sweet, chocolate-like fragrance.”

“Chinese black tea from Fujian region. The liquor has a soft, rich sweetness without any astringency and leaves a wonderful, lingering aftertaste. One of our top sellers. There are many different qualities of Golden Monkey in the market. Only a few have the wonderful chocolate-cocoa notes.”

This is a delightfully rich and satisfying tea. It’s smoky, a bit malty, full-bodied, and complete within itself. Near the end of my cup I added a bit of honey and milk, which did not detract from the tea, but really didn’t add anything. I would drink this again, hot and golden. Golden Monkey seems to be the tea-drinker’s equivalent to a single-malt scotch.

TehKu is a local company with a wonderful tea-house, and I know that they do mail-order for those who live outside the area. No affiliation.
