Yum!
First time ever trying loose leaf teas and I am now a lover of it! Order shipped quickly and was a perfect tea for my tastes.

Truly Satisfying Sips of Tea delight
The quality and richness in the flavor of Golden Monkey tea offered by Golden Moon far surpasses competition. It is truly an ahhh moment with the first sip to the last. No bitterness or aftertaste with each cup. Mellow, smooth, buttery, just terrifically full flavored. My greatest testimony is that I keep buying it because of the wonderful flavor. Satisfied is putting it mildly. :)

Deceptive Tea
Received my tea promptly and it tasted as advertised. I question the caffeine rating it was given, but my real complaint is that the packaging and amount of tea received is not what is pictured in the listing. You can increase the order size (and more greatly the price) and upgrade from a foil pouch to the tin displayed. Just don't assume you are getting what is advertised. It's a shame because if I wasn't surprised upon open the package, I would have given this tea a much higher rating.

My New Favorite
Excellent tea! I start my mornings with Golden Monkey - it has become my new favorite black tea!.
Jacquie buell said:
Surprisingly good
I had heard if this tea but didn't think much about it until I decided to order it. I was NOT disappointed. It had a very nice light and on the slightly sweet side taste. Glad I purchased it

Golden Monkey: The Best!
For the ultimate morning cup of tea, look no further. There are other great teas out there, but just drink the best. Rich and silky smooth, Golden Monkey satisfies every craving. A great cup of tea.
Sara Jo Gladle said:
Golden Monkey, mmmm....
Whereas Pu-erh is my go-to daily tea, Golden Monkey is my Sunday special. Sweet and smooth and rich with flavor!!! So grateful that Golden Monkey is dedicated to such high quality!

Golden Monkey Tea
Ever since Teavana closed I have been searching for a Golden Monkey tea that was as good as theirs. Found Golden Moon Tea one day while surfing the web and decided to give it a try, I absolutely love it! Even better than Teavana's, in the past 2 years I have tried several brands and this is by far the best. I heat my water to 207 degrees and let steep for 3 min and drink it plain.

I love Golden Monkey and all the teas I’ve tried from Golden Moon. Smooth and full of taste! Wonderful company and great service!

Golden Monkey
Excellent black tea. I had company shortly after I got it. They loved it and wanted the name and company I got it from!

Platinum Golden Monkey
The best I've had in years. My daughter sent me a sample and I ordered a pound.

Great Tea!
This is my first time ordering Golden Moon Tea! I'm very impressed with the flavor. I was also impressed with how fast my order was shipped.

Great Tea
It's my first time trying Golden Monkey tea, it is delicious, as are all of your teas. Thanks so much.
Richard S said:
Flavor On Point!
The flavor of this Golden Monkey is on point. Golden Monkey is hands-down my favorite black tea. The only critique I have for the tea I received is that the leaves are a little more broken up than I am used to. This may seem a little nit-picky, but the cut of any tea will have effects on the flavor profile ranging from subtle to profound. The smaller a tea is cut, the faster bitter/tanic flavors develop. To me, golden monkey should be mild with honey-caramel sweetness. The tannin should be very discreet bolstering notes of cedar and cinnamon. This teas has all of that in the right proportions. As I got to the bottom of the bag, though, the smaller, broken up pieces contributed a little more stringency than is desired in a perfect cup of Golden Monkey. It is likely that this package of tea was mishandled in the mail. Overall, very good - I'll continue to order.

I have tried Golden Monkey tea from various places. This is the best one I have ever had!!
Josh Larke said:
Fantastic first flush tea
There’s something really special about this Golden Monkey. To me the mild earthy flavor has a nice but subtle floral finish.
Though I’m more accustomed to another brand of golden tipped tea from Yunnan Provence, I believe I will be adding Golden Moon’s Golden Monkey (as well as their Madagascar vanilla) to my Darjeeling tea subscription.
I’m a new convert to Golden Moon Tea but I’ve quickly become a huge fan. I just can’t get enough of these wonderful teas.

Good tea
Comfortably mellow tea. It's my wife's go to tea in the morning with a touch of sweetener.
Terry McBride said:
Wonderful tera, excellent company
Rebecca Frich said:
Very nice tea!
Tried this tea as a replacement for Golden Dragon. Though it has a different flavor and cannot be considered a replacement for Golden Dragon, I was pleasantly surprised at it's taste. I like it very much brewed with a light to moderate infusion, and will happily add it to my tea cabinet. As a reference point, I am a hot tea only drinker who does not enjoy flavored teas. I am a purist and do not add milk or sugar to any of my teas and my absolute favorite which I have almost everyday is Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls. That has been my favorite for 21 years. So if you enjoy fruity teas my review may not be very helpful for you.

Amazing Tea Very Relaxing
Like always you guys go over the top to bring home that great refreshing taste. Namaste

Wonderful
This is a wonderful light black tea. Nice for mornings and evenings.
Judy Huston said:
Love this tea!
Golden Monkey is my favorite, and I've tried a number of brands, but Golden Moon is absolutely the best. Winter or summer, I love the hint of chocolate! I'll keep buying it!
Yvonne Baker said:
Best Tea Ever!
I received my order of Golden Monkey Tea and I LOVE it. What a wonderful tea to start your morning or anytime. I will be ordering again and again.
robinakagoatmom said:
A new favorite for both of us
Darjeeling has long been our daily relax to cup but it may have to move over for this delightful tea. We prefer our tea without additions and this has a lovely taste. Like all your teas, none cause reflux and so happy to find such a quality company so I can enjoy my favorite beverage again.
Lawana Lowery said:
Wonderful Taste!
This is the best tea. I bought several different flavors and each are uniquely tasty! I cannot drink any other tea now. My taste buds are spoiled.
Deb R said:
Good little tea
Steeped as indicated, it was a little more tannic than I expected for a 'slightly sweet' tea. Didn't add sweetener or anything - might work better with a hint of honey added. All in all, not bad but not a favorite either
Robyn S said:
A joy to drink
Golden monkey is a treat to drink. Soft, with a slight hint of chocolate. This tea has become a favorite to sip while curled up with a book on cold winter days!
Definitely adding to my subscription
Regina M said:
Top quality tea!
Wonderful tea! Thx so much for the effort you put into to find top quality read from around the world. I used to think I knew great tea until I tried Golden Moon tea! Your tea has set a new, higher standard for other tea companies to try and meet!
Carrie Tolman said:
New tea love
I recently purchased a sampler for my husband, but I ended up falling in love with the coconut pouchong. So amazing! I will be ordering that again! The teas were delivered in a timely fashion and reasonably priced.
leslie m.g. said:
Low quality tea
As a lover of golden monkey tea, I was thrilled to learn about another vendor for this sometimes difficult to find tea that those in our household love so much. Expecting a rich, delicious tea, we were deeply disappointed to discover that the golden moon golden mo key tea is a cheap imitation at best. This tea tastes like a run of the mill black tea mixed with a few golden monkey tips. Basically, it tastes like a cheap box tea with too much essential oil pungency that I could have spent $5 on. Disappointing.
Art Jr. said:
Awesome!
This tea is amazing. I love having a cup when I arrive home from work or just before bed. Very pleased with this product.... I will be recommending to friends and family.
Abel Licon said:
Malty with little astrigency
This has to be one of the smoothest teas I've every had. Malty and full bodied yet not astringent. I blew through 2 1oz packets in like a week. Next time I'm definitely getting the larger bag.
Julie Miller said:
Delicious Teas!
French Breakfast and Sinharaja are especially good!
Carolyn Dunlav said:
Awesome Tea! Very pleased.
I just recently purchased four Golden Tea loose teas and am very pleased with them. The flavors are robust, and I can get two to three steepings. They are excellent. Will order again and try some other flavors too. So glad to have found a wonderful organic tea company.
Michelle Emert said:
Consistently Good
I have been ordering the coconut pouchong for years after discovering it on a trip to Washington state. I always steep in a Japanese style pot with a stainless steel mesh infuser, giving the leaves plenty of space to open up and release flavor. I usually get 2- 3 steepings. This is a staple for my tea stash.
Galen Tromble said:
Golden Monkey
Golden Monkey is a delicious black tea. I first brewed it too strong. When I cut back the leaf volume by a third the tea opened up and the sweetness came through. Holds up through several steepings.
Kelly Cooper-Slayton said:
Excellent tea!
All of Golden Moon tea is incredible and this is not an exception - love it!

I was introduced to Golden Monkey by a house guest who gave me some as a gift. I am hooked! It is so delicious. None better.

Rich, full body, nice finish. Sounds like wine, doesn't it! Really like this tea. Unlike bag teas which are mainly tea dust, this tea and all Golden Moon Teas are very flavorful!

Good monkey
Great tea. Smooth and clean taste, mild sweetness. No bitterness at all. Great morning tea.
Debbie R said:
Delicious!
This is a most delicious tea. I had run out and finally ordered more. When I made my first cup after an absence of this tea I remembered why it is one of my favorite teas. It was almost as if I were drinking a nice tea with chocolate in it. Very nice flavor, smooth, and full of flavor!
Peggy Hedin said:
Another good one
Golden Monkey is now one of my favorite teas from Golden Moon. I routinely buy Lapsang Souchong and Darjeeling here, which cannot be replaced. However, Golden Monkey is a keeper. Also recommend Golden Assam.

One of my top five teas, delicious hot or iced.

The Best!
While traveling I was at the mercy of my hosts with tea bags. Of course I had to order real tea from Golden Moon (golden monkey) so that I could enjoy visiting with my hosts. Also made for nice house gift while there. Mexico next, now what?
Thanks for the good times!
Janet S. said:
Excellent tea!
I have been a fan of Golden Monkey tea for years—often searching the internet for the best quality and price. When I discovered the Golden Moon Tea website I decided to purchase more than the Golden Monkey tea and have found all three teas to be excellent. Good to find a new provider for my black tea habit!
Carole Cassio said:
Husband's favorite
Great loose tea; great company
Justine Wilson said:
The Best
I always come back to this tea. Dependably delicious, my morning cup with a little sugar and half and half. There's a photo on my kitchen shelf of a tea shop in Tacoma, Washington, where I first discovered Golden Moon Tea. In that picture my neice is less than one year old; yesterday she turned 18. That's how long I have been enjoying Marcus's tea! Thank you!
Ellen Cantarow said:

I got hooked on this tea about a year ago and almost never drink anything else. This company shipped it to me very quickly so I'll be ordering from them again.

Golden Monkey is pure Gold
I love this tea. It's delicious. Recently I have put a lot of effort towards reducing my exposure to toxins and chemicals in the things I buy. I was happy to find Golden Moon Tea and I am very pleased with their teas. Thanks Golden Moon for making a quality product safer.
Faith Welsh said:
Golden Moon is the best of the best!!!
I have been a tea drinker ever since I was old enough to be allowed to have it. Golden Monkey is by far the best black tea I have ever tasted! I recently bought the detox herbal blend and I love that too! My green tea favorite is Snow Dragon which came in tea of the month. I really enjoy being a member, since these teas that come are exotic and always interesting!
Elizabeth Poole said:
Smooth Tea
I was delighted to discover this tea. I am a black tea lover, but find that quite often black teas with bold flavor can be a bit bitter. This is a wonderful deep flavor, and is so smooth! I love to drink it with a bit of milk
Anita Hand said:
When it comes right down to it...
Golden Monkey is hard to beat as a perfectly balanced and flavorful black tea.

Amazingly deep flavor
The complex flavors in this tea make it a "must have" for tea lovers!

Golden monkey tea
It's very good tea but it doesn't have the same perfume as Golden Monkey tea I've previously bought. It makes a great cuppa but I'm wondering if I might want to try something different next time. Any suggestions?

I continue to enjoy sampling the various teas and have yet to meet a tea I didn't like. The journey has 'ruined me' on trying to drink packaged/bagged tea.
David Cope said:
My all-time favorite tea
Ever since I first discovered Golden Monkey tea, I've been head over heels for it. Never harsh, but full bodied and deeply delicious. I buy it in one pound packages so that I won't have to come running every month or two, and can honestly say that it's the only tea that I've never grown tired of. Absolutely the best.
Carissa R. said:
Nothing negative to say
Love all the teas I've gotten, including Golden Monkey. I am a fan of black and green teas and this one is perfect for mornings. Some of the time I use cream in my teas and it is good either way, and I like that I get a few cups worth from a scoop. It is a little pricey but I'm not disappointed with GMT so far and will continue to buy from them.
Katherine Magwene said:
Disappointed at the price
I do like the taste of Golden Monkey tea very much, but I'm feeling cheated. I spent a considerable amount on this tea and several others, and precisely one week after I placed my order for this tea, Golden Moon Tea sent me an email offering a 20% discount. Grrrr.
Daily Tea Drinker said:
Disappointing Golden Monkey Tea
Not a bad tea, just disappointing for the price. We have had Golden Monkey tea from other vendors that we liked much, much more. We found this to be too smokey and lacking the rich. malty, elegant notes we are used to. This tastes like a much cheaper tea. A cross between Irish Breakfast and Keemun.
roger harris said:
I mix it
Don't like it by itself but I blend 4-1 ratio with varieties of mint. Moroccan mint is my fav...the ratio works both ways for me
Linda KRAFINSKI said:
Not for me.
Did not like Coconut Pouchong, Sweet Monkey is OK.
Will Chung said:
Fresh and Sweet
Somehow this tea is slightly sweet with a clean finish. I don't add sugar or cream to any of my tea, so to pick up the sweetness in the black tea leaves is astounding. This tea is expensive but worth every penny. I find that Golden Moon teas can be steeped several times. This is my favorite black tea so far. I haven't had anything like it and I've been drinking tea for 4 decades.
Michael Newcomb said:
Love This Tea
Having grown up in the South and lived all over the country, I am a sucker for a great, sweet black tea. Golden Monkey has become my "go to" tea for my addiction. Thanks Golden Moon.

I already wrote you a detailed review. I LOVED the Golden Monkey. Could NOT STAND the Sencha. Again, it was very detailed but it appears you didn't read it.
I've ordered so much and I deserve the free 1/2 lb tea, considering you did not address my review.

My father turned me on to Golden Moon,several years ago before he passed. I've been ordering bulk tea, by the pound, from them since then. Golden Monkey is another superb tea.
