Monkey King of Peace

The Monkey King of Peace is a light, refreshing green tea grown in the mountains of Mount Huang. Its leaves ar e unusually large and dramatic—reminiscent of the Monkey King’s legendary staff. Drop them in hot water and watch them slowly rise and suspend vertically in the cup, like a small forest coming to life in a soft emerald pool.

Grown in misty mountain terroir, this green tea is made from only the youngest buds and their two most tender leaves. This careful restraint is what gives the tea its precise, clean and gentle sweetness.

Brew it and you’ll notice a fresh, dewy aroma of bamboo shoots and forest flora. The liquor is pale and clear, with a soft yellow glow. On the palate, it sits firmly on the fresh end of the spectrum: cool, clean and without bitterness, even with longer steeps. This is a tea for mid-morning pauses, for people who drink tea as a reset between focused tasks.
