Global Tea Championship Winner
2nd Place, Golden Monkey

NOTE: Although our Golden Monkey has come from the same organic farm for several years, the 2025 and 2026 harvests were sub-par. Although still enjoyable, we are making our current stock available at a bit of a discount.

Grown at high altitudes in the misty mountains of Yunnan, China, comes this fine black tea with smooth notes of honeyed peach.

For 1700 years this rare tea was enjoyed only by China's elite ruling class. They believed it gave them special powers of agility and sexual prowess.

Today, Golden Monkey is a frequent finalist on awards lists around the world and is considered one of the finest black teas there is.

Best tea for coffee drinkers

Excellent smooth tea. But feels strong enough to be coffee. I love this tea, it gives me energy, focus and vitality. Can’t beat that with just a cup of coffee. Tea has been around 1,700 years, because it’s just that good. Great product from a great tea company. Get some, see what you are missing.

Golden Monkey Tea

I’m a coffee drinker but this tea is perfect for me. Very smooth and restful to drink. I’m starting to drink more of this tea than coffee. I’ve tried several high altitude black teas lately, but this is the best. Try it, you won’t be sorry.

Golden Monkey Tea

This is the smoothest tea I’ve ever tried. I just love this tea. When you open the containers the aroma is distinct and contains tea and fruit. I’m a coffee drinker by trade but this tea is very pleasing to me. It’s been around 1,700 years and I’m betting it will be around another 1,700 years or more. It’s that good. Try it, you will like it. Fast shipping, great customer service and really good tea. Get some, you won’t regret it.

Best tea I’ve ever had. This tea has been around for 1,700 years. This tea is still around that say something about how very good it is. Very smooth, just a pleasure to drink. Improve your energy and sleep at the same time drinking this tea. I’m a coffee drinker by trade but this tea is for me. I like it. Get some now and you won’t regret it . Enjoy!

Best before dinner preparation tea!

Golden Monkey is a favorite to enjoy when I’m preparing dinner, I like the perfect smooth taste and the caffeine really helps after a long day

Overall Winner

I love this tea. Brightness to start with a bit of earthyness afterwards.

Nice strong flavor for afternoon. Still not earl grey though. Would buy again.

Great tasting tea

This is a smooth tasting tea with just enough caffeine to give me a much needed boost of energy!
