In your imagination, Chinese tea producers are unbeatable. New names and designations are constantly being invented. In contrast to India or Ceylon (Sri Lanka), where leaf grades and plantations are the main component of naming, in China (and Taiwan) teas are named after imaginative stories or appearance. The designation "Monkey" is probably meant in the broadest sense to refer to the sometimes unusual shape of a monkey's ears. In any case, this highly tippy green tea is one of the classics in our range, ideal for beginners who also prefer a somewhat typical tartness in taste.
