*****
Numi Tea's Monkey King Jasmine Green Tea is a premium Numi tea, both certified organic and kosher. The only ingredient is fair trade certified special grade green tea that is scented with real summer jasmine flowers from China. There is nothing artificial in this or in any Numi tea.
On the box, the manufacturer writes: "Jasmine tea is the oldest known scented tea, and ours begins its life in the gardens of Hunan Province. The rich soil and fluctuations in daily temperature yield a fragrant leaf which is further scented with delicate white Jasmine blossoms. During summer, these are gathered daily by the banks of the Min River and repeatedly mated each night with the prepared tea, naturally embracing all of the flowers' scent. When brewed, this smooth, organic green tea has layers of subtle fragrance and hints of moonlight. It is a most romantic tea, and, like a bowl of fresh picked flowers, will bring the joy of summer to your every sip." It sounds quite romantic, and it tastes wonderful. It is a true jasmine tea, and the taste of jasmine predominates, in a both strong and lovely way.
The price is perfect, a big savings over single boxes. If you like Numi teas, get it---you won't be sorry. If you are new to Numi but love jasmine green tea, this will probably be the best you've ever had.

| This is by far the best tasting green tea I've tried thus far. I'm well aware of the benefits, but until now I haven't been drinking as much of green tea as I should have. I've tried the pricey ones and the inexpensive ones before. The jasmine adds so much aroma and flavor. I purchased the Endless Journeys Sampler to try Numi. This one is the most delicious tea within the sampler. Yummy! |
Wonderful Green Tea

Being an avid tea drinker, I have found Numi Monkey King to be the best green tea. It's smooth with a hint of sweetness, comforting for the body and mind.
The price is probably the best I have found compared to everywhere else. Definitely a tea worth stocking up. |
Just as good as I expected

This Jasmine Green tea is one of the best I've found. Very smooth and round. Best to use water that is not boiling hot and not to over steep.
Enjoy................ |
Simply Awesome

| Let me just start by saying I love the Numi teas. However, today, just now is the first time I've had the Monkey King Tea and OMG. The scent of the tea is so amazingly wonderful. It forces you to close your eyes and just inhale very deeply. I never thought having one cup of tea could be so therapeutic making it worth every single penny. |
great tasting and smelling tea :)

| this tea is delicious. I've tried several other brands of jasmine tea and spent a great deal of $ trying different brands. So far this is my favorite. I'm sure there may be better jasmine tea out there somewhere that i haven't come across yet. If so i'm not missing it one bit. I've found an excellent tasting reasonably priced jasmine tea in Numi. I'll stick with it. |
Taking a mini-vacation

| I love the Monkey King Jasmine Green Tea. Buying it locally by the individual box was not only more expensive but inconvenient. When I saw that you offered a special price when buying six boxes, not only am I saving about $2 per box, but now I can freely make my tea without feeling that I need to ration it until I can get to the store. I am sharing tea bags and giving some as gifts. In the midst of some recently busy work weeks, making a cup of this tea was like taking a mini stress break (vacation). It tasted so good and smelled heavenly. It is also great iced. I add a little maple syrup or honey. Enjoy! Treat yourself! |
the best tea

I am an avid tea drinker; I drink a LOT of green tea every day and this is great tasting green tea. I have been extremely spoiled because I have been drinking this tea for many years and recently I've tried other less expensive, more available and not-as-good-teas that are very grassy or just not as flavorful as Numi teas. Numi Tea is very high quality, but also expensive, so I also drink Choice Organic Premium Japanese Green Tea, 16-Count Box (Pack of 6), but this Numi tea is my favorite. One reason why I feel Numi Tea is always fresh tasting is each tea bag is individually wrapped in foil.
I recently also tried TAZO China Green Tips Green Tea, 20-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 6) - and it is GRASSY! I don't like grassy green tea ...
Below is a cut and paste of the Harvard Health Letters Green Tea advice.
Benefit of drinking green tea: The proof is in -- drinking tea is healthy, says Harvard Women's Health Watch
Although tea drinking has been associated with health benefits for centuries, only in recent years have its medicinal properties been investigated scientifically. The October issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch recognizes the healthy power of tea while helping readers get the most out of their cups.
Tea's health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids -- plant-derived compounds that are antioxidants. Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties. Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder.
Additional benefits for regular consumers of green and black teas include a reduced risk for heart disease. The antioxidants in green, black, and oolong teas can help block the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase HDL (good) cholesterol and improve artery function. A Chinese study published recently in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed a 46%-65% reduction in hypertension risk in regular consumers of oolong or green tea, compared to non-consumers of tea.
The October issue provides a few tips to get the most out of tea-drinking:
Drinking a cup of tea a few times a day to absorb antioxidants and other healthful plant compounds. In green-tea drinking cultures, the usual amount is three cups per day. Allow tea to steep for three to five minutes to bring out its catechins. The best way to get the catechins and other flavonoids in tea is to drink it freshly brewed. Decaffeinated, bottled ready-to-drink tea preparations, and instant teas have less of these compounds. Tea can impede the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables. Adding lemon or milk or drinking tea between meals will counteract this problem.
