According to folklore, some high-quality tea leaves are grown on cliffs, which are difficult for humans to pick, so monkeys are trained to pick them. Therefore, some no-name but high-quality teas are all named as "Monkey-Picked", symbolizing the rarity and high quality. In fact, there is not a single tea breed called Monkey-Picked. In modern times, Monkey-Picked is mostly used to describe some high quality oolong teas and unnamed teas, such as Supreme Tieguanyin.

Monkey-Picked is produced in Anxi, Fujian Province. It undergoes traditional fermentation and roasting in high heat. The color of the tea leaves becomes black and slick, the infusion color is dark, and the caramelization makes the tea have aromas such as caramel and fried rice, and the taste is mellow and sweet.

FAQ

Title

How should I choose the tea capsule size?

Large capsules contain more tea leaves than small capsules, resulting in a richer and more intense flavor. If you prefer stronger tea, we recommend choosing large capsules. You can also select the appropriate size based on the machine you are using.

Do you offer a recycling service?

Please place used capsules into a TEA CHÂTEAU recycling bag or any sealed plastic bag, and return them to any TEA CHÂTEAU retail store for recycling. Kindly note that pop-up stores do not provide recycling services.

Are the capsules only compatible with TEA CHÂTEAU tea machines?

No. Our capsules are also compatible with Nespresso Original line machines and Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machines. However, for the best flavor experience, we recommend using a TEA CHÂTEAU tea machine. Compared to standard capsule machines, our tea machines feature a pre-infusion technology that enhances aroma and delivers a richer, more layered taste.
