"I have read that the name of this tea comes from ancient legends of monkeys being trained to pick tea leaves from tea trees growing on high mountainous cliffs. The leaves are very oxidized and dark with tips like golden threads weaving through the dark needles. I found the tea liquor to be very full-bodied with strong cocoa notes and a whisper of sweet dried fruit and a little tang in the finish."
