White Monkey – Silvery High-Mountain Fujian Green TeaWhite Monkey is grown at more than 600 meters above sea level in the beautiful mountains of Fujian Province, China. Although it's often mistaken for a white tea because of its appearance, it's actually a green tea — a careful selection of hand-picked young leaves and long, silvery-white buds with abundant downy "pekoe" hairs. The name comes from the soft, fuzzy white buds, said to resemble the paws of a monkey. These tender tips give the tea its delicate, refreshing flavor and remarkable smoothness, while the high-mountain climate lends it a clean, fresh character. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItWhite Monkey offers the delicacy of a white tea with the freshness of a green tea — a smooth, sweet and beautifully balanced cup that's never bitter. It has a soft, gentle character, making it a lovely everyday tea or a quiet afternoon treat.
How to EnjoyEnjoy White Monkey over multiple steeps to experience it fully — each infusion reveals a slightly different side of its gentle sweetness. Brew it in a clear glass to admire the silvery buds, and pair it with light meals, fruit or delicate pastries. Fresh, graceful and beautifully smooth, White Monkey is a hidden gem among Chinese green teas. |

A little steeping tipSilvery leaves with a soft, sweet taste. Re-steep 2–3 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
