It's not a good year for Monkey King iin 2007. Abnormal heat hit the production area and tea leaves grown faster than they should have. That resulted in thinner leaves and thus not as much flavor as the 2006 crop. Regardless of that, price has gone up significantly this year. There is quite a Monkey King fan club out there.  

Also, be alerted that what we do to the environment does put dent(s) to out quality of living. Kam forgets to switch off the computer for an hour, and he gets a batch of lower quality tea next year. No matter how much more he can afford to pay, he gets a lower quality batch next year. That is not good.  

Suggested brewing parameters - TEA:WATER (by weight) 3:100. Gaiwan or glass is fine. About 90C water brewing for 90 sec. Tea in the cup/glasses first, then water. Can last 5 infusions. Other rules for brewing green tea applies.

General Info on Monkey King

Monkey King smells like orchid, natural and refreshing. It's clean and elegant flavor sets it apart from the regular, or even top quality, green teas. It has it's unmistaken-able style.

Compared to the most liked Chinese green tea Dragon Well, Kam would say Monkey scores better in overall pleasure.
