Yunnan Golden Monkey Imperial

Yunnan Golden Monkey Imperial – Golden-Tip Chinese Black Tea for Wholesale

Yunnan Golden Monkey Imperial is an imperial-grade black tea whose striking golden leaf signals quality at first sight. It is produced in Yunnan Province, China, by tea-farming families who have handed down their craft through many generations. For tea shops and cafes, it offers a premium black tea that is rich yet exceptionally gentle, and a clear step up from everyday black tea offerings.

The name Golden Monkey refers to the downy golden buds, which are said to look like a monkey's golden paws. This Imperial grade contains a generous share of these prized tips, producing an amber, reddish-brown infusion that is naturally sweet, very smooth and rich in taste, with no astringency whatsoever. Notes of hay and clover honey lead the cup, with a character reminiscent of roasted sweet potato. Thanks to its high bud content, the leaf holds up well over multiple infusions, and its honeyed sweetness means it is easy to serve plain.
