What is White Monkey Tea?

White Monkey Tea - also known as Bai Mao Hou and often called Fujian Monkey Picked - is one of the great teas of China. According to legend, it was originally picked from high-growing plants in such difficult cliff-edge locations that monkeys were trained to pluck the leaves. The rough, slightly fluffy leaf produces a light yellowish-green infusion with a mild cup and nuances of honey.

White Monkey Tea Caffeine Content

White Monkey Tea contains a low to moderate amount of caffeine, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a gentle pick-me-up without the strong effects of higher-caffeine teas.

White Monkey Tea Health Benefits

The tea is rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from free radicals and support overall immune health. Additionally, its natural polyphenols have been associated with promoting heart health and aiding in digestion.

When is the Best Time to Drink White Monkey Tea?

Our tea experts recommend drinking our exquisite White Monkey Tea from the afternoon onwards.

I purchase these teas regularly to be shipped to me in California. They’re the best teas I can find, and the Ginger Lemon tea is to die for.
