The Monkey Chief green tea is an organic version from Taiping.It is one of China’s most extraordinary teas. The taste of this tea is best described as refreshing green. When picking the tea alongside quality something else is important as well: size (up to 15 inches!). This makes this tea easy to recognize.

We buy directly from the farmers and buy only tea without artificial additives. The tea’s taste and quality first and foremost. We consider too the welfare of the workers and the impact that the production process hason the environment. When tea tasting, we pay particular attention to the fragrance and appearance of the leaves. It's essential to feel good after drinking a cup of tea.
Originally I bought this (type of) tea from a local shop. I wasn’t too impressed with it back then. Some time ago I saw the tin sitting in the back of my cupboard and decided to revisite. Since then I drank nearly the whole tin. On second try I do like this tea. After that I discovered a sample of this tea in my little green tea adventure from Tea-adventure. As I’m considering restocking and I. That case generally prefer Tea-adventure due to the favorable shipping conditions I decided to try this sample today.
Normally I go for a 3-minute soak. Today however I decided to stick to Tea-A’s recommendation. The result is a color wise full bodied tea (really yellow green) and taste wise soft, rounded taste with a sweetish tone reminiscent of white teas without the hay-ish overtures. Maybe a bit of green asparagus and butter?
Anyway, on second thought a really good tea and one I just might be reordering.
