China Monkey King

China Monkey King

Medium Caffeine

Taiping Hou (monkey) Kui (king) ranks among China's ten most famous teas and is commonly translated as "Monkey King." The tip bud and young leaf sets are pan-fired, pressed flat between layers of cloth in a bamboo basket, and gently roasted over a charcoal fire to finish. The dried leaf has an intricate crisscrossing pattern left from the cloth. The flavor is smooth, sweet, and herbaceous with a delicate floral aroma.
