Drink the Leaf: Organic Golden Monkey
Drink the Leaf | Golden Monkey
It’s great to be back after a long break from marTEA.com. I’m starting back with Drink the Leaf’s Organic Golden Monkey. First of all, I’m a huge fan of most teas from the Yunnan Province. The classic copper colored lush tea leaves are always something I look forward to. To me, Organic Golden Monkey (Panyong Wang) is a hearty tea. It’s a filling/satisfying tea. I enjoy an almost earthy/sweet flavor coming from the tea. Drink the Leaf describes the tea as having a cocoa flavor to it. I do detect the cocoa vibe, but I’m more intrigued by the balance of flavors. This tea has something for everyone. If you have a sweet tooth, sure you’ll pick-up on the cocoa notes of the tea. I pick-up on the scent and flavor of a sweet smelling forest. The taste and scent reminds me of a solid mix of fresh air, flourishing vegetation, and fresh spring water. At times, I can taste a faint pepper-like flavor. I guess that is the beauty of a tea like this, it’s flavors are subject to interpretation.
