Thanks to Soccer Mom for my Golden Monkey taste championship – Adagio vs Teas Etc. The verdict: Adagio… The Adagio’s version is much bolder, malty-er. In fact, I find that I may have a new mission: which vendor supplies the “best” golden monkey?
Sure the award-winning Teas, Etc had more golden leaves and brewed to a darker liquor but where was the taste?

Ooh, I had dismissed Golden Monkey because I’ve only tried tleafT’s version which tasted like nothing. I need to keep an eye out for other suppliers of this!
I totally agree with you. I like Adagio’s better not that Tea’s Etc is bad it’s just not as flavorful and I like lots of bold flavor. As you can see I am on this Golden Monkey mission (you mentioned) myself so let me know if you find a better one. :)
I loved the Golden Monkey from Teas etc so this means I’m going to have to try adagio’s
Yes Dan try it!
Never been a fan of golden monkey, but good to know =]
SoccerMom- Maybe when TeasEtc. mailed you its Golden Monkey the batch of tea wasn’t as fresh “as usual” as people really rave about the Teas, Etc. version?
Also, even though many vendors sell a tea called “Golden Monkey”, there seems to be a wide range of flavors and quality between vendors….
