Fujien White Monkey

Occupying a rare position between white and green tea, White Monkey tea features white downy leaves interspersed among the green. The result is an exquisite infusion with all the natural freshness of white tea and the floral depths of green. Apparently the name originates from a time when the tea, cultivated on cliffs and among rocks, was harvested by monkeys specially trained for the job. Sometimes it is also called Monkey Claw, describing the way in which the downy leaf curves.
