SUN MONKEY GOLDEN MONKEY HANDMADE BLACK TEA

Golden Monkey is a tea spun from sunlight and patience, a cup where gold threads glimmer like morning light caught in mist. In Tian Xin village, high in Wuyi Shan, the Fan family have walked the rows of their garden for four generations. Each season, they rise before dawn to pluck the tenderest buds, tips brushed with downy gold, carrying forward a lineage that binds family to mountain, leaf to hand, and hand to flame.

The dry leaf curls into dark spirals touched with amber, giving off a fragrance that is both floral and warm, orchid and rose entwined with the promise of cocoa, stone fruit, and honey. When the leaves meet water, the liquor glows with depth, silky and amber-bright, as though the cliffs themselves had been distilled. On the tongue, sweetness arrives first: honey dripping into caramel, the ripeness of peach and apricot, the gentle weight of figs. A trace of chocolate follows, soft and lingering, wrapped in a whisper of spice that recalls firewood after rain. Each infusion deepens the experience. The first cup is bright and sweet; the second, round and resonant; the third, more shadow than light, where the mineral strength of Wuyi Shan reveals itself. Long after the cup is empty, a sweetness clings to the breath, like a memory unwilling to leave.

Golden Monkey is not only a tea, but a heritage leaf—golden tips carrying the devotion of the Fan family, the breath of the Wuyi cliffs, and the poetry of a place where stone, mist, and sunlight meet.
