Sinharaja Tea
Sinharaja Tea is so enjoyable to drink anytime of day. Its full body gives you that ‘sigh of goodness’ as it comforts you from your head to your toes. Truly good, to me it doesn’t need milk or cream but the tea is rich enough to complement the cream.
Try it, you’ll like it.

Full-bodied and flavorful
I’ve been drinking Golden Moon’s Sinharaja tea for at least 15 years. It’s full bodied but never bitter. It has a rich flavor that stands up to milk and sugar but is also equally delightful on its own. I’ve tried many other tea brands over the years as an avid tea drinker, but no matter what, I always end up defaulting to Golden Moon. This tea and the French Breakfast are staples in my home.

Perfect black tea!
Smooth, strong, pure black tea.
Sarah Lovett said:
It's a favorite
I honestly use this tea with milk, and in my homemade chai. It's definitely the best.
Jillian said:
The best
I have been a tea drinker for years and by far golden moon is the best quality I’ve had in a long time.

Flavor and sophistication 🙏
Ever since I visited Sri Lanka and found Golden Moon tea carried an amazing tea Singharaja estates/ have enjoyed every sip
Marie S said:
Tastes great!
This black tea is really delicious - much like another reviewer, I also drink it black and it's not bitter at all. I'll definitely be ordering it again!
Ewa said:

Great black tea
Delicious !!! Satisfying…. An “aha” moment

Sinharaja. Double delicious.
Just a wonderful tea. Brisk and flavorful. To be enjoyed any time of day.
Try it with a little honey. Highly recommended tea.
Cathy said:
Heavenly!
This tea is one of the best I've had. It has an excellent clean, clear, full flavor. Completely delicious!
John Randolph said:
A great black tea
One of our favorites. If like us you drink it black, without milk or sugar, you might try cutting the brew time to 3 1/2 minutes. That makes for a smoother effect, while still giving you the full flavor.
Maria Arn said:
Sinharaja has been my favorite for over 20 years!<3
Patrice L Jeppson said:
lovely suggestion!
This was a sample suggestion based on another tea I get—and it is my new favorite!
Jolanta Tombarkiewicz said:
brew it longer to get all the flavors, it is very fresh, thank you
Ilene said:
Every time I order, I always add on a new tea. This time was Sinharaja. It was quite good, as I most enjoy strong black teas in the morning.
But my absolute favorite remains Irish Breakfast tea.
Thank you for providing pure, safe, natural teas from a company that I am proud to support.
Gale Q said:
My friend recommended Golden Moon and I’m so happy she did. I ordered 3 different teas, French Breakfast, Sinharaja, Keemun, and they are all delicious. My favorite is Keehum which has a strong flavor with a hint of smokiness which gives it a subtle, different taste.
I will definitely order more again and appreciate all they do to make tea drinking the pleasure it should be. Thank you.

If it's good enough for the owner, it's got to be good
I was wanting to try one of your teas that I've never had before and when I read that this tea is Golden Moon's owner's morning cup of tea with a touch of milk and honey, I thought, "If it's good enough for the owner, it's got to be good". So, I bought it. I was not disappointed. As always, I like the way you package your teas in resealable, airtight foil bags. And ordering, shipping, and delivering is always hassle-free. I would recommend Sinharaja for those who enjoy a smooth, yet strong black tea. I love it both "straight" (no cream or sugar) and also with a dash of cream.
Swan said:
Nice packaging; leaves are intact and inviting; beautiful color and aroma; complex taste as noted; clear, clean finish.
anonymous said:
A mellow black tea for everyone
This tea is flavorful but mellow and appeals to my wife who is not really black tea fan. Of the three teas we purchased (Golden Monkey and Lap Sang are the other two), this is my favorite.
Sami TM said:
Classic Ceylon Tea
I have quite a bit of experience with Ceylon tea and I think this is one of the best I've tried
It is suitable for those who love tea that gives an illusion of dark chocolate and tobacco flavors
They are flavors that I can feel and I never mean they are added to tea
Roberta Smith said:
Delicate flavor
Delicate flavor I enjoy on some mornings with a cup of this tea. I like to alternate other days with a much stronger tea - Pū-er. With the fast service I Can order just two days before I’m about ready to run out of tea. That way I always get the freshest tea for my morning beverage to start the day.

Best black tea to drink without milk or sugar
Best black tea to drink without milk or sugar, Golden morning tea company is my go to company party for tea I have tried several other of their tea like coconut pouchong and Darjeeling tea they’re all very good I will recommend this company wholeheartedly
Becky Meinhart said:
A New Favorite!
I drink a LOT of tea and this is a new favorite! A little oat milk, agave, Sinharaja and I enjoy more than dessert!!
Jen Evans said:
Cozy up
I tried this tea on a whim (usually a chai or earl grey drinker), and wow do I love it. It’s rich, pairs well with frothed oat milk, and is a great cup to kickoff my morning.
Christine Quigley said:
Lovely
Lovely, citrusy astringency hot or cold. My favorite morning drink. I have given many samples to friends!
LINU VARGHESE said:
Perfect blend of tea leaves
Sinharaja is my favorite tea, I have tried many other names. but Sinharaja tastes give me going all day.
Philip Hovatter said:
Sinharaja Rocks
I didn't buy it for myself. I bought it for my sister's birthday — a birthday that ended with a 5. Sinharaja is her favorite tea of all time. She had been out of it for about a year, so I pounced on the opportunity to make her birthday a very happy one with a gift that was sure to please.
Sinharaja. You can't miss.
Susan said:
Glad I tried
Smooth and flavorful; I'll be purchasing it bulk next time.
Irena Vazhenin said:
A GEM
This pure black tea has a lovely aroma and taste. Could be gentle and light or distinctive and strong. All depends on your state of mind and quantity of this exquisite tea!
Susan Finney said:
Very good black tea
It is one of my favorites, but all teas from Golden Moon are good. I appreciate that it is loose, not bagged. I like this one plain and the overtones are interesting. I have been ordering tea from Golden Moon for many years and I am always pleased with the quality and service.
Greg said:
Nice and different tea
When it comes to black teas, my usual selections have been from the Keemun, Dian Hong, or Golden Monkey styles. I wanted something different and this fits in nicely.
I’ve tried it with and without cream and sugar. To me, it’s better with the latter option. The flavors of cocoa and something fruity that I cannot yet identify come through and make for a really pleasant cup of tea.
Andrea said:
Excellent everyday tea
Have SINHARAJA in regular rotation for my morning tea. Delicious with milk and sugar. You can’t go wrong with it.
Irene Lehan said:
Lovely tasting tea
This is my first time trying this tea. It has a more subtle flavor than I had anticipated. I drink it with oat milk and honey. I will be buying it again.
Ernie Durham said:
Sinharaja Ceylon Tea
I have been ordering from Golden Moon Tea for several years and love their quality teas. I love the Organic teas and appreciate that their products are free of harmful chemicals. I like the Sinharaja Ceylon Tea as well as Moroccan Mint and other wonderful teas they offer! I highly recommend their products!!!
Kendall said:
My favorite tea
I’m a tea snob and have tried several kinds of loose leaf black tea and this is by far my favorite. I’ve reordered several times. I always have it with a little bit of sugar and cream :)
Doccyn said:
Balanced notes
This has been a long time favorite tea. The sweet notes are perfectly balanced. The first infusion can take on raw sugar and milk, but just as good plain. The second infusion reminds me of a good oolong tea. I am rarely without this tea in my cupboard.
Lori said:
Sinharaja...My GoTo Tea
I have been buying Golden Moon teas for many years, & without doubt Sinharaja is the one bag I most often grab in the morning for my first tea of the day. It's smooth & delicious with sweetener & milk, & I can usually get 2 cups from 1 scoop of leaves. A most delightful brew! My other favorite choices are Masala Chai & Keemun. GM has the greatest teas out there! Thank You :)
Valerie Woodard said:
Great tea
Golden moon tea has become the only tea I drink. The Sinharaja is my go to tea in the afternoon or evening. Very smooth full flavor tea. All the teas I’ve tried I liked but this is a favorite for sure.
Joyce Alkire said:
Love Golden Moon Tea
My friend, who grew up in and traveled often to China, began bringing me the most exquisite teas. Nothing that I found here compared. Then I found Golden Moon Tea. Wonderful quality and the taste and fragrance are comparable to the tea my friend brought to me. Thank you.
Ann said:
Love the Golden Moon teas
Golden Moon is the only place I purchase my teas - no tea bags for me. Favorites are Sinharaja, Dragon Well, and Detox. Thanks for great tea.
Pat said:
Back for more
I had tried sinharaja before but had forgotten how much I enjoyed it until I ordered another small bag. Had a pot on Sunday and even made another pot with the leaves. Not as strong but still so good. Sipped it all day. Back to order more today.
C McCarthy said:
Sinharaja black tea
Sinharaja tea is my favorite black tea even though it is not organic. I know Golden Moon Tea company is an honorable tea producing company so i trust that
Sinharaja is carefully grown but would love it even more if it were certified as organic.
Anna Trombley said:
Marcus Stout, I salute you
Well, I don't know if I can embellish this product's fine description, but...every word is true: robust, smooth, kind of sweet, & is well complimented by milk & honey.
Marcus Stout, I salute you (with a cup of Sinharaja & half&half)!
Christopher Jordan said:
Great morning tea
Love having a a few cups of this to start my day! Very strong “tea” smell and flavor. Slight earthy kick to it. Very delicious!
Laurie Marum said:
A beautifully satisfying tea
Sinharaja Ceylon tea is an amber colored delectable with mild caffeine effect. Great for mornings and perhaps after lunch. This is a smooth, never bitter taste that is beautifully satisfying. I tried it after I read that Marcus Stout drinks it every morning. As Golden Moon's tea guru, I figured I would drink what he drinks just to see and I am not disappointed. I recommend it highly.
Amanda Coston said:
Delicious tea but would like to see more about environmental effect
I love love this tea! It has a lovely chocolate-y, robust taste without being bitter. Just how black tea should taste! This would become a regular tea for me if I knew more about the provenance and the environmental impact of harvesting the tea. Given that it's grown next to the rainforest, it would be reassuring if this product had a Rainforest Alliance certification (or equivalent).

Great tea
Purchased this tea a couple of weeks ago and I must say this is one of the finest tastings teas that I have experienced.
I will definitely put this into my regular rotation of teas to order.

MT NYC said:
Wonderful Golden Moon Teas...never fail to please!
I mostly drink my tea plain & rarely add sugar or honey, & even more rare that I add milk or cream. Been drinking Golden Moon Tea for decades...love the Irish, English, and especially, the French Breakfast blends, also the lovely Earl Grey. I had tried Sinharaja a few years ago but I forgot how terrific it is. Recently read that it's an every morning favorite of owner Marcus Stout, so I tried it again & I believe it will also be a regular for me. I'm sure it's delectable with sugar or honey & splash of milk, but I think it's delicious as a straight-up self-drinker.

Been getting this for years. Still one of my favorites
Kamby Hubbard said:
Sinharaja
I purchased a small package of this tea to sample, after a recommendation from a member of a tea group that I’m in. The hint of cocoa description got me interested, and now I love this tea. It’s nice and smooth, and I will be purchasing a larger canister soon. Thanks Golden Moon!

I love this tea as well as other different tee which I order from Golden Moon tea.
Holly Brown said:
Yep It's Tea
And it's damn good tea, at that. Not a huge fan of the blended, super sweet tea blends. Sinharaja is by far my favorite so far. Will definitely be ordering more in the future.
Patricia Chapanian said:
Delicious pick me up!
I ordered Sinharaja based on the reviews. I wasn't disappointed. It's very good iced in the afternoon, as well.
Sheila Sullivan said:
Awesome tea!
This tea is some of the best I have ever had. It is smooth and tastes great. I will definitely order more!
Carol Brown said:

Sinharaja is one of my favorites. I try to always have it on hand
sherry hoskins said:
Sinharaja tea
I had a cup this morning. It was excellent. I vary my mornings with the Tippy Earl Grey, the Sinharaja, and the Masala Chai. This morning the Sinharaja called my name. If you haven't, you seriously need to try it.
TANIA said:
Nice Morning Tea
Love this tea as my first cup of the morning!
Linda Weinert said:
Great tea
I love this tea and the Keemun. Every morning I have one or the other. Sometimes I make my own blend of the two.
Daphne said:
Aromatic and strong
A truly enjoyable cup of tea. The flavour reminds me of my grandmother's tea, in the old country. A tea drinkers tea, if you will. This one would probably be great as iced tea, with some lemon, as well.
Melissa Vincent said:
Great tea
I purchased this tea to use for my kombucha. I love a strong black tea, and this one is fantastic for the job. Not at all bitter after a good long steep. Will definitely purchase it again.
Doris Matick said:
My black tea favorite
I've tried a lot of the teas and they're all good but Sinharaja has become my favorite black tea. It is strong but oh so smooth tasting - no bitterness at all. Have a put in a cheer for the coconut pouchong if you're in the mood for something other than black. It makes you sit up and take notice of its delightful fragrance and delicious sound bite. A little bit of heaven when the time is right!

I absolutely love this tea. It is everything they say it is and so satisfying. I’ll be stocking up so as never run out. My new “go to” for tea. Thank you Golden Moon for enlightening me!!
S. T. King said:
Woderful, Flavorful Teas
I have been a fan of Golden Moon Teas for several years and recently ordered Sinharaja, Keemun, Darjeeling and Irish Breakfast. All of which I have ordered and enjoyed in the past.
Obviously I enjoy my tea and look forward to drinking all of these recently purchased choices.
Phil Huber said:
Wow, that's good
I added this tea to my order as an afterthought. I was actually purchasing some green tea, but the description of this tea sounded enticing. I'm so glad I added it. This is a strong black tea but still very smooth. All the flavor without any of the bitterness. What a great "wake me up" tea.
Virginia OBryan said:
Excellent Tea
I love the taste of this tea! What a wonderful way to begin the day!!! It is rich and energizing!
Charles said:
A bold, rich delight
I love this tea! It is rich, bold, smooth and balanced, quite an accomplishment for such a powerful tea. There is an underlying hint of berry and licorice.
Jennifer Ciattei said:
Lovely lower-elevation tea!!!
I received a small sample of this lovely tea and immediately sailed in and purchased a pound to drink over the holidays. I enjoy lower-elevation Sri Lankan teas, and love the deep heft of this tea, with enough sunshiny brightness to delight the senses.
Patrea Wilson said:
My go-to black tea
Sinharaja has a rich, malty flavor, good as a self-drinker, yet able to withstand a little milk and honey (or crystallized raw sugar). It's perfect as a warm-up during the cold, dark winter.
Deidre Chattler said:
comforting tea
Sinharaja is one of my favorite teas. I always make sure that I am well-stocked. Holding a steaming cup of sinharaja is a morning pleasure not to be missed. Not so strong that it knocks you over but enough of a punch to say "Good morning." It is actually good any time of day, I know, because I have enjoyed its body, mouth-feel and most of all comforting flavor at all hours. Highly recommended.
Karmaday said:
Delicious Black Tea!
Black teas are my go to choice for morning tea. I tried Golden Moon's Sinharaja and it became my one of my top favorites. The flavor comes through even with milk and sugar. I love watching the large tea leaves unfurl in my glass infuser (also from Golden Moon!). Great product, if you enjoy black tea you must try this. Everything I have ordered from Golden Moon has been excellent.
