Monkey's Paw: Cursed Green Tea

Monkey's Paw is a handmade Chinese green tea of the highest order, sourced from Fujian Province, Wuyi Mountain, China.

Picked in late March from tea plants grown at 2,500 - 5,000ft elevation, only the top two leaves and bud of the bushes are used. The tea leaves still have a hairy down on them and so are said to resemble a monkey's paw.

While a green tea, the infused liquor and visual appearance is so delicate it could almost be thought of as a white tea, and as such is often known as White Monkey Paw tea.
