Green tea from the slopes of the Taimu Mountains in Fujian, China. The delicate, unopened buds appear perfectly white against the young, opened green leaves. Warm colored liquor with a fresh, almost wildflower sweet scent and slightly dry finish.

★★★★★

My absolute favorite green. It is smooth and sweet. Almost no bitterness at all. I brew it strong, as it is a very mild tea.

★★★★☆

One thing I give more attention to than it desirve is pre-brew aroma. White Monkey gets huge nocks in this department from me and goes down near the bottom of the list of the 20-25 teas I have tried. For me, the taste is nothing to really write home about either, but I've always been more of a black tea kinda guy.

★★★★★

It's sweet, but subtle...a little different from some other greens, but delicious.

★★★★★

Very smooth flavor. I found it a bit tricky to brew the way I liked it to bring out the naturally sweet flavor.

★★★★☆

Very mild taste, but nice. I've enjoyed it more each time I've tried it.

★★★★★

This is a really nice everyday green tea, slightly malty and with accents of sweetness.

★★★★★

This is really yummy and good! I love it so much I'm going to buy a bigger size, plain ol' green tea.

★★★★★

I love white monkey green tea. It is very smooth. Not at all bitter. I never thought I would like green tea, but this one is excellent!

★★★★★

This is a fabulous green tea! I actually am not a huge fan of green except for gunpowder. But this actually was nice. And not grassy tasting. I would order again.

★★★★☆

Perhaps subdued is the best way to describe this green. If you're looking for a robust flavor, this may not be for you, but it is refreshing.

★★★★★

A lighter green tea perfect for days you don't need to be super wired.

★★★★☆

This was a little grassy for me, but the quality was good and it was much better with sugar and milk.

★★★★☆

Very basic green. Great for when I'm the mood for something simple.

★★★★★

very good taste loves this one very smooth taste have to try

★★★★☆

I bought this as a gift for my daughter and she said it was very good.

★★★★★

Well I must say I liked this tea. I only bought a sample but plan on buying more. I am a white tea drinker, my husband a green and we both enjoyed it alot. Hot or cold is good either way.

★★★★★

A great staple tea to keep on hand. It's fun to add other flavors to this for a unique blend.

★★★★★

This first time a tried this it reminded me of the taste of green tea ice cream. I will buy more of this! This is my new everyday tea.

★★★★☆

White Monkey is one of my favorite additions to my Citron Tea-

★★★★☆

My fiancee love green tea and this is one of her favorites. I think it's inoffensive and a bit boring, but I don't like green tea like she does. Thus, I've deferred the rating to her.

★★★★☆

i bought this for a friend who seemed to really enjoy it.

★★★★☆

In general I am more of a fruit tea person but I did still very much enjoy this tea. It's not on my daily rotation but I do enjoy it occasionally.

★★★★★

I love this tea! It produces a very sweet cup, even without sugar.

★★★★★

Very delicate balance between a white and a green. Delicious.

★★★★☆

Tastes like most chinese green teas. One of my favorites from that category.

★★★★☆

Love the name, like the tea. Not very strong at all, but good.

★★★★★

Quite possibly my favorite Adadio tea so far. Heady aroma and wonderfully mellow flavor.

★★★★☆

A good tea, not great. No complaints, it's just sort of 'there' (which is not necessarily a bad thing).

★★★☆☆

At first I wasn't as happy with this tea as I'd hoped to be. The first couple of times I tried it I found it kind of weak and not very flavorful. My wife fixed a cup last night though and it was much better than the previous cups I'd made. I'm still not real crazy about it but I'd drink it occasionally as a change of pace from my other favorite teas.

★★★★☆

A really pleasant green tea - light and soothing and you're less in danger of over-steeping and turning it bitter than with some other green teas.

★★★☆☆

As noted in the description, this is a very light green tea. The subtlety of this tea was lost to me and I wouldn't purchase it again.

★★★★☆

I really enjoyed this one, not as grassy as some of the green teas I've had in the past. Also, it is surprisingly sweet.

★★★★★

This is my favorite everyday green tea. The taste is light and delicate.

★★★★★

very light, very smooth, and an all around great tea to treat yourself to.

★★★★☆

Very mild. Not as flavorful as I would like, but still enjoyable.

★★★★★

My favorite green tea. If you've never tried a green before, this is a great starter. Lacks the vegetable/grassy taste that puts many people off. I happen to like that taste on occasion, but White Monkey is a green that I can drink any day all day.

★★★★☆

Very mellow and pleasant flavor. Not veggie tasting like most greens can be. There is a extra sweetness to the taste that makes it nice. The look and odor of the leaves also are very pleasing.

★★★★★

I was surprised with this tea. It smelled a little weak, but once brewed, the flavor was delicate. It made me savor each sip. This is a beautiful tea, and a good late afternoon relaxation sort of drink.

★★★★★

Clean, zen taste. Loved the light flavor. Enjoyable!

★★★★☆

White monkey is very light and soft. The tea leaves are beautiful and the flavor is nice.

★★★★★

Subtle, refreshing, and delicate, with honey and fruit overtones and the slightest hint of malt. A splendid afternoon tea.

★★★★★

Very good light green tea, so far it is one of my favorites.

★★★★☆

rich green tea that is somewhat nutty. i would buy again...

★★★★★

I will admit I am biased towards green teas, but this one was paticularly good. It has a wonderful flavor that is present from the first sip until its slightly sweet finish. Wonderful.

★★★★★

White monkey is very good. Nice and light and still has good flavor. A little sweet. I'd recommend this green tea to anyone.

★★★★☆

I really like this tea. It's not too week or too strong. The taste is just right. And the price is just right too. This is a close 2nd to the casablanca twist.

★★★★★

my favorite green tea from Adagio. It has a wonderful honey taste, but it is difficult to brew correctly

★★★★☆

Interesting delicate flavor. I like it in the afternoon.

★★★★★

Very good tea, has a bit of a sweet flavor to it. It's my favorite afternoon tea.

★★★★☆

Was good, but wasn't great. Maybe I need to steep it longer, but it tasted very weak and bland to me.
