Sample. Was surprised by the very light color of this black tea. The smell is wonderful. Very lightly floral. Reminds me a little of Upton’s Moonlight Castleton Estate tea. I thought however that the scent didn’t transfer over to the taste. Didn’t taste like much of anything. Keeping in mind I definitely don’t have a very sophisticated palate.

drank Vanilla Mint by Golden Moon Tea

Sample. Good! I always like to have a mint tea on hand. Not sure if I would choose this over my usual Upton’s Moroccan Mint though.

drank White Ginger by Golden Moon Tea

Sample. Can definitely taste/smell the ginger. Is okay. I actually like ginger a lot in baked goods, but I think I’d prefer to keep my ginger out of tea. Unless it’s Chai!

Sample. LOVED this tea. By far my favorite so far from the sampler pack I got a few weeks ago. Sweet (without any sweetener!), lightly tastes and smells of melon. Lovely. Will try a few more melon teas though before deciding if I want to reorder or not.

drank Pu-erh Chai by Golden Moon Tea
38 tasting notes

Sample. Short end of the stick? Interesting. My first Pu-erh. Before brewing the leaves definitely smelled very cinnamon-y and orange-y. Was totally taken aback by the color of the tea. So dark, and unlike any tea I’ve seen before. Had the first few sips plain and it was weird. Not terrible but I definitely didn’t like it. The smell had something off putting behind the spices that I can’t put my finger on. The taste was a little odd too. But added a touch of half&half and honey, and it became much better. The weird smell/taste diminished. The dominant spice seems to be cinnamon. I kind of like it. Totally unsure if I’d order more. But of the 10-15 Golden Moon samples I’ve had so far, this is in the top two.

drank Sinharaja by Golden Moon Tea
38 tasting notes

Sample. First steep at boiling and 4 minutes was really bitter for me, even with my usual touch of half&half and honey. Dumped it out. But based on other reviews, I decided to steep it again, but this time for 3:30, and that was better. Had plain, then added some sugar, then some half&half. All were fine. To me, just tasted like a mild black tea.
