The leaves are small-batch crafted and hand sorted, producing a beautifully clean cup with the fresh, grassy character you'd hope for from a really good Chinese green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt brews a lovely pale yellow-green. The first sip is fresh and lively, followed by a surprisingly full, smooth mouthfeel and a clean finish that makes another cup seem a very sensible idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rather brilliant name comes from the legend of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King of Chinese mythology. His eyes were said to possess the ability to see the truth in any situation. We're making no such promises for the tea, but it's certainly worth sitting down and thinking about things over a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFresh • Grassy • Smooth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Rare early-spring Chinese green tea\u003cbr\u003e• Made from young jade-coloured buds\u003cbr\u003e• Small-batch crafted and hand sorted\u003cbr\u003e• Grown in Fujian Province, China\u003cbr\u003e• Smooth, fresh flavour with a full mouthfeel\u003cbr\u003e• High antioxidant level\u003cbr\u003e• Naturally low in caffeine\u003cbr\u003e• Limited quantity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fujian Province\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,500–4,900ft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monkey Jade Buds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional, non-fermented and small-batch crafted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse around one heaped teaspoon per cup and brew for \u003cstrong\u003e2–3 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e to begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with most good green teas, we'd avoid absolutely boiling water.
