Today, the communiTEA is drinking...

White Monkey (白毛猴, Bái Máo Hóu — "White Hairy Monkey") is a green tea grown along the slopes of the Taimu mountains (太姥山) in the Fujian province of China. Do not be confused by the name — the young leaves and unopened buds are carefully gathered and processed exclusively by hand, and the result is a tea that appears intricately woven with large, beautiful white tips that resemble white-haired monkey's paws, hence the name.It produces a warm-colored cup with a fresh and subtly seaweedy aroma infused with delicate sweetness, a buttery silky mouthfeel, and a slightly dry finish.
