King of Panyong Congou. This tea is so good that growers refer to it as King of Panyong Congou. Panyong Congou Teas are produced in Fu'an County and Shounen County. The growers hand sort the tea leaves to ensure that only the best leaves are used to make our Golden Monkey tea.
Exquisite. Excellent. Tippy. Every batch of Golden Monkey tea leaves we process will eventually turn gold brown during the manufacturing process. This ensures that our Golden Monkey is tippy— of exceptional quality, rare, and packed with flavor.
