A pale amber cup with a delicate flavour which evolves when steeped for short periods many times.  Relax and experience as the flavour changes subtly with each brew.   

The sweet aroma and honey flavour is underpinned by a light herbaceous and pepper backdrop.  Soft yet cleansing mouthfeel and gently settling on the stomach.

White Monkey may be referred to as white tea due its downy white appearance and pale amber liquor.  Legend has it that white monkeys were once used to pluck the leaves in the inaccessible terrain.

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
