Blues:

yes golden monkey is another Keemun tea. you can consider this tea as
another top quality Keemun. Tastes more sweet,more chocolatey. Its
very good. Another top grade Keemun is Red Peony. I have tried red
peony firt time at a hotel in Indoneshia and i was so suprised with
its look because this tea tied togather with a silken thread to
resamble a flower. After that I am a fan of red peony. I recently
order some from Imperial tea court. My understanding is Anhui
province's all red tea(black tea) resemble Keemun taste. This is my
personal opinion. Actually tea vendors often confuse us with their own
version of exotic name. We need to be careful sometimes to order. In
the future i have a plan to talk about it here. Well, enjoy your
Golden money tea. please let us know, how you like it.
