Monkey Picked Oolong Tea (Camellia Sinensis)

Monkey Picked Oolong Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a premium, high-mountain oolong traditionally harvested from rugged cliffs and remote elevations where the finest tea bushes naturally grow. The name refers not to actual monkeys but to the ancient belief that only highly skilled climbers—or mythically, trained monkeys—could reach the wild, high-grown shoots prized for their exceptional aroma, depth, and purity. These tender leaves undergo a meticulous semi-oxidation process that creates a tea with rich floral fragrance, silky texture, lingering sweetness, and bright mineral clarity unique to elite oolongs.

In traditional Chinese tea culture, Monkey Picked Oolong is regarded as a harmonizing, qi-lifting, and spirit-refreshing tea, valued for its ability to clear the mind, aid digestion, relax tension, and gently invigorate without harsh stimulation. Because of its partial oxidation, it carries both the floral top notes of green tea and the warm, rounded complexity of darker oolongs, making it a balanced and refined tonic for daily wellness.

The tea is often praised in classical texts for its cooling yet uplifting nature, supporting clarity, alertness, and smooth qi flow through the chest and head. Its naturally occurring catechins, theanine, and aromatic compounds help promote calm focus, digestive comfort, metabolic support, and antioxidant protection.

Modern analysis confirms that high-mountain oolong teas like this contain polyphenols, amino acids, minerals, and aromatic esters that contribute to metabolic balance, heart health, digestive ease, and stress reduction, while delivering a sustained, gentle energy.

Each batch of Monkey Picked Oolong Tea (Camellia sinensis) is carefully plucked, withered, shaken, oxidized, and charcoal-roasted to preserve its emerald-to-golden leaves, floral fragrance, buttery smoothness, and clean mineral finish. When brewed, it produces a clear amber infusion with orchid-like aroma, honeyed sweetness, and a long, elegant aftertaste that epitomizes the highest expression of artisan oolong tea.
