Golden Monkey Organic Black Tea

Description

Golden Monkey Organic Black Tea enchants with aromas of apricot, yellow peach, and soft rosewood. Its small, thin leaves—tipped with gold—brew into a smooth, mellow cup with gentle tannins and a lingering finish. Originally crafted for European export, this organic loose leaf black tea is versatile enough to enjoy with or without milk.

A must-try for loose leaf lovers, it offers a refined balance of fruit and wood, ideal for slow mornings or contemplative afternoons. Contains caffeine.

Brewing Guide: Use 1½ to 2 teaspoons (3–4 grams) per 8 oz of freshly boiled water (205–212˚F / 96–100˚C). Steep for 4 minutes.

All our true black teas are ethically sourced, certified organic, and either fair trade or direct trade unless noted. For the best flavor, use fresh filtered or reverse osmosis water. Avoid distilled, tap, or microwaved water. We don’t recommend using a coffee maker—unless it’s a French press that’s never been used for coffee.

The Golden Monkey Organic Black Tea label was created by tapestry artist Krista Pollock, a Santa Cruz local known for her hand-painted fabric designs and meditative patterns. Originally from Connecticut, Krista traveled across California—working as a chef to support her art—before settling in Santa Cruz, where she’s lived for over 20 years. Her work blends illustration, surface design, and vintage tribal textile inspiration into unique tapestries and handmade gifts.
