Golden Monkey Tea

 golden monkey tea

O.k…who could resist a tea with a name like that? Not me.

Now, one of the things I do try to do is to pick up a variety of teas and coffees.  Some from specialty roasters and others from grocery stores.  I want there to be something for everyone, because that is just how I am.  When you have 8 kids you know about measuring liquids into cups by the exact drop to make things even…

Here is another item from the shelves at Target.  It was o.k..as far as I was concerned, but my son in law loved it. I admit to having a preference for flavored tea, so keep that in mind.

This tea originates in the Yunnan province, which borders VietNam.  It is a black tea and has a rich honey flavor, almost chocolaty in the after taste.  It is naturally smoky and sweet, very complex.

In reading other reviews I see people raving about it…I really think it may be too sophisticated for my tastes, I just thought it was interesting.  It also could be that it was a grocery store brand an not from a tea specialty company…I will order a bit from Teavana or Adagio and let you know the differences. :)

If you really like black teas then by all means try it.
