GOLDEN MONKEY

Just tried the golden monkey tea I think this is my new favorite. I will order this again.

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.

I have ordered the Golden Monkey tea for my son twice now. He Ioves the flavor and the aroma. Doing business with the company has been easy and efficient. Thank you

Golden Moon Tea ☕️ is great, refreshing tea . I like all of varieties I picked

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. :)

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.

Excellent tea! I start my mornings with Golden Monkey - it has become my new favorite black tea!.

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

I love all the Golden Moon tea I drink, but this is my go to cup.

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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.

It's my first time trying Golden Monkey tea, it is delicious, as are all of your teas. Thanks so much.

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!!

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.

Comfortably mellow tea. It's my wife's go to tea in the morning with a touch of sweetener.

Love the 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.

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

This is a wonderful light black tea. Nice for mornings and evenings.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

French Breakfast and Sinharaja are especially good!

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.

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.

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.

All of Golden Moon tea is incredible and this is not an exception - love it!

the golden monkey is such a wonderful black tea---mellow--yet full complex flavor

Have always loved Golden Moon Teas every since I worked for them back in Washington state. Golden Monkey is a wonderful tasting black tea. It is one of my go to teas now!

I'm not a fan of black tea, but this one I like to drink.

It's hard to overstate the beauty of this tea. It's body, fragrance, flavor make it an everyday treat. I truly love it. Guests always swoon.

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!

Best tea in my life

Great tea. Smooth and clean taste, mild sweetness. No bitterness at all. Great morning tea.

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!

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.

I received a sample of this tea as a gift and was delighted. Couldn't wait to get my hands on more it! I like the smooth, slight sweetness of. So happy to have discovered it.

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!

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!

Great loose tea; great company

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!

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.

Great flavor, thoroughly enjoyable.

Exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Golden Moon Teas.

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.

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!

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

Golden Monkey is hard to beat as a perfectly balanced and flavorful black tea.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Did not like Coconut Pouchong, Sweet Monkey is OK.

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.

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.

Bought several Teas for my daughter-in-law. She absolutely loves your tea. Thank you!

I'm never disappointed by the teas from Goldenmoon, (compared with sketchy results from Amazon purchases) and the ordering/customer service is always excellent
