The Tea Spot Monkey Picked Organic White Tea Review

I hope no grubby monkey fingers actually touched my tea!

When I first opened up my Organic Monkey Picked White tea sample from The Tea Spot I was surprised.  I was faced with big beautiful and colorful tea leaves ranging from shades of greens, to golden yellows and rich browns.  The ingredients are only 100% single estate region tea from the Fuijian province in China.

The reasoning behind this tea from The Tea Spot is as follows:

Legend has it that Buddhist monks trained monkeys to harvest the leaves from the top of wild tea trees.  However, today the term Monkey-Picked refers to the highest quality tea.

As per instructions, I used 1 teaspoon and steeped my tea for 3-6 minutes in 176F water.  The liquor turned a beautiful dark yellow with an apricot undertone.  The aroma was nice and light.  The body of the tea had a thin body but had a beautiful gentle aroma to it.  As it is organic and fair trade it gets bonus points in my book.  I would recommend this tea who is looking for something that is light in caffeine, more on the delicate side, with big leaves and beautiful color.
