Extremely exclusive, limited output, worthy for emperors. Made from the bud only, this tea is hand picked from the organic certified (USDA and EU) tea plantation of the Ilam district of Nepal that sits at 1800m above sea level. Harvested from 40 year old, 6 to 9m tall trees that tower over the teenage bushes below, these trees have been hammered by the unending onslaught of rain, sun wind and fog from the unforgiving Himalayas for decades. The buds that sprout are worth their weight in gold. The copper color comes from the heat off the plams of the harvesters. The word 'monkey' in its name is attributed to the way harvesters have to reach the tall branches.
