White Monkey ( Bai Mao Hou) Green Tea

The White Monkey Tea Experience: rare, wild, charming

Like its namesake, this uncommon tea is both lovable and untamed.

Tasting Notes: full-bodied, fruity, sweet

The wiry, fuzzy leaves and buds of our White Monkey captivate the senses with their appearance and their complex aromas of cream, hay, toasted nuts and Oriental Beauty Oolong-like fruity-floral notes. The brewed tea is peachy in color, hinting at the flavors of stone fruits yet to come. Light aromas of apricot, seaweed and white flowers give way to a sweet, fruity, floral and surprisingly full bodied flavor profile. A balancing astringency plays out in the flavor and aftertaste alike, ending in a bittersweet note like that of an unripe nectarine.

Ingredients: Chinese Bai Mao Hou Green Tea.

This endearing tea is best savored on its own. If you must, add a few drops of honey or pair with a breakfast or granola, oatmeal or fresh fruit.

Also known as Bai Mao Hou, White Monkey Tea is unique to the Taimu mountains of Fujian, China. In this region, there are several unique varieties of the tea plant which are said to be the only plants capable of bearing genuine white teas.
