Delicious
I ordered a variety of black teas to try-- French Breakfast, Golden Monkey, Sinharaja, English Breakfast, and Irish Breakfast. So far, these are my favorite teas. Great, strong flavors that pair well with milk and sugar. I love the fact that the tea is actual dried leaves, not powdery fragments like I've seen with other companies. Highly recommend!
Cory Williams said:
Excellent tea
Strong flavor that does not get as bitter as other teas. “English style” with sugar and milk really brings out the notes of chocolate
Beth the Tea Lady said:
Golden Monkey is delightful
Sipping Golden Monkey tea is like a mini-vacation. It even tastes as good as it smells. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my friends and family.

Tea is delicious!! Will order again.

Favorite Black Tea
Nothing compares to this black tea. The sweet and chocolaty notes make it addictive. It's somehow bold yet smooth and is great just black or with milk. I also found adding a little sugar really draws out its unique sweetness. It re-steeps fairly well and prefer it even over a strong breakfast tea.

golden monkey tea is excellent
Nice unique flavor with a chocalaty flavor, full bodied.

A terrific Yunnan!
I love a good Yunnan, a loose leaf tea from the Yunnan province of China. You can get it with no tips all the way up to fully golden. This one has a delicious balance between those two extremes. It has a balanced, smooth flavor that has notes of honey. If you haven't tried a Yunnan tea before, this is a great one to try. I think you won't be disappointed and find this one from Golden Moon to be exceptionally tasty and delicious!

Best tea ever
If you’re looking for a tea to drink without sugar/milk, this is the one! Smooth and lovely! Doesn’t need any additions!! ❤️

One of my new regulars
New tea for me, love it. Nice flavor smooth, not too sweet. Stands up nicely to a little milk.
Pat said:
Smooth
A great tasting tea. Like that I can get more than 1 pot out of it that still taste great.

Excellent Tea
Golden Monkey is worth the price. It's my wife's "go to" tea every morning. All the positive reviews are well deserved.
Marie Ramos said:
My favorite black tea
I buy this tea by the pound. It is worth the price (and sometimes you can find coupons online for an additional discount). Truly a premium black tea - smooth and full of flavor. Brew less time if you like it black, longer if you like milk and sugar.
TХ said:
Smooth and aromatic
Golden Monkey is my favorite Chinese black tea. It is mild, aromatic, smooth, and sweet. It is not bitter and astringent at all (very important to me, as I am not looking to add milk and sugar and things to my tea). I will be ordering again soon.
Jerry R. said:
My favorite black tea from China
I've been a long time fan of India's Assam and Darjeeling varieties. I recently purchased Golden Monkey for my daughter, who share how wonderful it was. I tried it for myself and discovered how delightful it is! It may eclipse Assam as my first cup of the day. If you like Assam, Darjeeling, and black breakfast teas, give Golden Monkey a try. It's a refreshing change in the black tea lineup.
Patty Page said:
Lovely Golden Monkey!
Just tried this today and it will be among my top favorites!

The best sencha tea
I drink a lot of tea and Golden Moon's sencha always tastes perfectly balanced.
Cameron McColough said:
Best loose leaf tea!
Ive been a tea drinker for years. I use to use tea bags (premade) and they were alright. I switched to loose leaf maybe 3 years ago and have tried several different brands. Most were decent. But Golden Moon is by far my favorite. I’ll honestly never bother buying anything else again. I lovee the ‘golden monkey’ black tea. Its so delicious and sweet (for black tea) that I rarely use honey anymore. Its amazing. I’m on my 3rd order, and there will be many, many more to come. Thanks for the awesome tea my friends! Much love.

Delicious and so satisfying
I've been ordering tea from Golden Moon for years. This time I added Golden Monkey to my order. Oh, Golden Moon, you never cease to satisfy. Golden Monkey is a deep, multi-toned tea and a wonderful cup to wake up with.

Delightful aroma!
My entire kitchen smells so good! Such a nice rich flavor! You will not be disappointed! Love golden moon tea! Never have tried a tea I didn’t absolutely love! And delivery is so fast!

Great Tea and service for years
My Dad turned me onto Oolong tea many years ago, before his death. We have been using Golden Monkey tea for many, many years with perfect quality. Reliable service and professionalism. We buy by the pound.

Delectable and refined tea
I’m a tea connoisseur and very finicky about a good cup of tea. I loved drinking the golden monkey tea. I’ll order this on a regular basis.
Marcia Faye said:
Wonderful Way to Begin the New Year
I ordered a tin of the Golden Monkey tea based on the description--and was not disappointed! This smooth tea is among the best black teas that I've ever tasted. It is the perfect relaxing weekend tea. I will definitely order it again.

flavorful tea, love the resealable packaging
As Ben says, this is a smooth tea, great to start the day. It arrived in good time, even considering the holiday shipping traffic jam. Will definitely be ordering more of this & other teas from Golden Moon!

Thank you again for your inquiry. I still have not received my order, but I am looking forward to indulging in tis wonderful tea. Don't know where it is being held captive, but I do know it is not through any fault of your company. Stay safe and healthy. Sincerely, Still waiting in Ohio.
Charles said:
Quiet Elegance in your cup
This is an excellent example of a Chinese "Red Tea". (Pay attention to the first minute of the steep to understand.)
One of the smoothest, mildest, most pleasant teas you will ever drink! And drink again!
A slightly crisp, vegetal sweetness infuses the body of this beverage.
Pay attention to and obey the recommended shorter steep time!
JASON REED said:
Good Stuff 👍
Pleased with this seller and the quality of teas to price ratio. Good stuff 👍.
Deborah Gillespie said:
No "monkey business" here!
I really am enjoying the Golden Monkey tea I recently purchased. A smooth tea with just the right "body" to it. It is becoming an afternoon regular when I'm needing a little pick- me- up.
Barbara said:
Teas are very good
I like all the teas I have bought from Golden Moon over several years. I prefer black teas, but drink all kinds depending of mood and occasion, I really liked your Golden Assam which you no longer sell.
Tay MacIntyre said:
Gorgeous flavor & color!
Just tried this Golden Monkey tea for the first time after enjoying many other teas by Golden Moon over the past few years. This one is so lovely and has become my morning treat. It's delicious, smooth and energizing without sweetening or milk, but also yummy and soothing with additions. Highly recommend!
Rick Russell said:
Teas are great but shipping was below par
We love the teas. They are fantastic. The shipping took far too long and the response from the company was NIL. If you buy from them, pay for the upgrade on shipping or be prepared to way a long time. I mailed a package to Germany, using regular USPS, a day after getting the "shipped" notification from this company and it got to Germany before I received the teas. Again, great teas, terrible shipping and a lack of customer support.
Rewa said:
Darjeeling & Keemun = Golden Monkey
If u like both those teas, then you'll appreciate this blend. I believe Yunnan, is often referred to as Golden Monkey, they have similar golden tips & smooth taste w/ or w/o sugar. I don't use cream w/ my teas. I don't like to dilute the essence of the tea's flavor, unlike coffee w/ it's bitterness, you need cream. Quality teas, nope.
Sharon MacArthur said:
Golden Monkey
I had gotten a sample pack of other teas a few months back and really enjoyed the quality. I prefer black teas so I wanted to find a good go to for my mornings. My tea cart can get rather full of the varieties I keep on hand but this golden monkey is front and center. My teens love it as much as I do. It’s a clean, smooth tea with subtle but strong flavor. Not too much and not too little. I will serve ordering this again and again.
Christina Blackwell said:
Delicious!
Golden Monkey is our afternoon tea, enjoyed black (no milk). We brew it for 5 minutes, although it does not get bitter if it's even longer. Tried Golden Monkey from other vendors but none is as delicious as the leaves from Golden Moon.
Frederic Fancher said:
Great Tea
I have been ordering Golden Monkey for years from Golden Tea. It is my favorite tea as I like bold smooth black tea. No other that I've had can match it. In the past I had ordered Golden Monkey tea from other tea distributors. Golden Moons is the best. I would strongly recommend this tea without any reservations.
TANYA said:
Golden Monkey Wows in-laws
Had family in for a short post quarantine visit and served the Golden Monkey, everyone loved it. We like strong British tea with milk Golden Monkey was a hit!! Follow the steeping guidelines, for a great cuppa.
Barbara Agnello said:
Spectacular Tea
I love this tea. It tastes delicate and smooth, and there is no bitterness. I highly recommend it. It makes a great latte, too!
John McBride said:
Why Golden Monkey
My father, and my grandparents, drank tea. That was era when commonly Orange Pekoe dominated the common store shelves. But decades ago I had the pleasure of being served a cup of perfectly prepared and brewed Yunnan and I’ve never gone back to ordinary. Golden Monkey is that experience, again and again.
Donald Nunn said:
Wonderful Tea
I was introduced to the Golden Monkey black tea by a relative and I'm amazed at how good it is. A very good tea with just the right amount of caffeine. I'm enjoying every sip.

Morgan Kemmer said:
So tasty
I love this blend! It is so smooth and has none of the bitterness of your typical black tea. I highly recommend for anyone who loves a very smooth cup of tea. It is light and easy on the palette. It is a great intro to tea for anyone who is a newcomer.

Everything worked out just fine, no complaints, will but from Golden moon tea again.
Donna said:
Golden service
I ordered this along with a special 3-for-3 deal but forgot to use the coupon code. Golden Moon’s customer service refunded me the difference. They were very good about reaching out quickly. As for the teas, I am happy with the quality and packaging and would order from Golden Moon again. I love the detailed flavor profiles and so far have found them to be accurate. I hadn’t tried Golden Monkey tea before and I like it.
Tried is yesterday and can't wait to try it iced. It will be superb iced.

Golden Monkey Tea
I have enjoyed Golden Monkey tea for several years and was so delighted to discover the Golden Moon company. It has been a pleasure dealing with the, the tea arrived very
quickly, beautifully packed and I am already enjoying it. I look forward to many future dealings with this company and recommend them highly.
Ksenia Kopystynska said:
Low Quality
It is low quality tea. The leaves are broken and powdery, they are not full and meaty and the tea does not have the characteristic taste of lGolden Monkey at all. It's practically tasteless. The leaves aren't sinking but just float. I am very disappointed
Sarah Holt said:
One of my new favorites
This was the first time trying any type of Golden Monkey. I loved the flavor and have been drinking it using the kung fu brewing method. There are complex tastes to be had at each brewing time. I enjoy about 10 brews from one set of tea leaves.
