SINHARAJA

Sinharaja is just one of the best, high quality, reasonably priced black teas on the market. Excellent flavor, excellent strength, this is a superb Ceylonese tea which I am sure gets much of its trademark character being grown and produced at the edge of the Sinharaja rain forest in southern Sri Lanka. I love teas of many different types and from many different regions, but Sinharaja is a definite staple in my home. It never fails to bring cheer and renewal.

Awhile back I embarked on a quest to try all of the top ten black teas on Gayot's list. Sinharaja was on that list. Of all the teas I've had (an extensive list) I come back to it over and over again as my all time favorite tea. So glad it was on that list or I may never have tried it. Now I just have to pray Golden Moon never stops making it. Thank you for an exquisite tea with a more than affordable price.

I have been a Golden Moon customer for years now. I like the Sinharaja, but my favorite is still the French Breakfast. Another favorite is the Vanilla Jasmine. I, however, do not like the new packaging of the tin of Sinharaja I received. The bag inside the tin is unnecessary and makes it harder to scoop out a spoonful. I usually order larger quantities and refill my old tins, but this was my first trial of the Sinharaja.

Love many of Golden Moon's tea, but this is my favorite.

As a confirmed black tea drinker I've enjoyed Sinharaja for several years. It's my favorite way to start the day. Also appreciate the great service from the folks at Golden Moon.

I have been a Golden Moon Customer for years now. I have never been disappointed but Golden Moon teas quality or their service. I regularly buy Sinharaja, Keemun and Darjeeling. The Sinharaja has a strong earthy taste but a smooth finish. For me this my goto tea.

This tea tastes great when used to make a strong iced tea. It has a smooth but still very interesting taste. The honey and cocoa notes are clearly identified. My new favorite iced tea. Awesome with a couple of fresh slices of nectarine added to the glass.

At one point, I went to Golden Moon's website to order more Sinharaja and the site was down. Panic ensued--"Oh, no! Golden Moon's out of business!" I ordered samples from other companies. Nothing came close. Of course, I later realized I had just happened to try to order while the site was down temporarily. Clearly, I'm a little slow about some things, but I know what to do about tea.. Ordered a pound of Sinharaja.

Sinharaja is the only tea we use for iced tea. It has s wonderful flavor and is so refreshing. Finding Golden Moon was a blessing!

my favorite tea. always smooth

I live in China, and have access to all the tea in China. But my favorite, which I stock up on when I get back to the US, is Sinharajah. It's smooth, with a rich flavor that is enticing. Honey. Cocoa, Rich flavor. It doesn't turn bitter if you over steep it. I like it plain and also with honey and milk. Sinharajah is simply the best.

After visiting Sri Lanka, I was craving Sri Lankan tea for months until I found Sinharaja on Golden Moon Tea's website. I am on my 2nd large bag of it and am so thrilled. I have 2 cups/day with sugar and cream. So rich, smooth, creamy and delicious! Quite a treat. Highly recommend.

I believe this will be a new standard in my cupboard. It has a standard black tea taste, but unlike bitter breakfast teas. It has obvious berry notes and is very smooth and clean finishing. This has been my most common afternoon tea recently.

Great, all 'round everyday tea. Very flavorful Ceylonese tea which no doubt gets much of its character from the adjoining rainforest. Good comfort tea. This was my first purchase from Golden Moon and I will buy more.

one of those rare examples where the tea's written desription on the canister is exactly correct. My favorite Sri Lanka offering.

Mellow, deep mysterious, so very, very good. A very different Ceylonese tea and one of the best.

Though it's not called UVA Ceylon tea, it really has similar amora & taste with UVA black tea, but even more caramel taste. The tea body is the most complete one I've ever seen among all Ceylon tea. However, the complete tea leaf didn't improve the weakness, which is the only cong to me. If you like Ceylon tea from UVA, or adore both fruity & camarel flavor, this tea will not disappoint you.

I have been drinking this amazing tea for 10 years and it is a family favorite. There is nothing about it that I don't like. All of Golden Moon's teas are fresh, and packaged to keep them that way so there is never a problem with that. I do not use sugar in tea, but I do use a bit of milk and this tea stands up well to milk with no loss of flavor. It is equally delicious with no milk added, just a

This is the BEST tea I have in my extensive collection. I have at least 3 cups/day and it is actually the only one I have constantly sitting out. The smoothness and delicate sweetness of this tea make it wonderful without any additions, however I often like to add a splash of milk to it in the morning to enhance its creaminess. I sip it lovingly and will be ordering more soon. It is one I do not w

I love this tea! Have to have it on hand for the morning. even bring it with me when I travel!

I have totally fallen in love with this tea- so much so, when I travel I have to bring it with me for my morning drink. I have 1-2 cups every morning with sugar and cream. Not milk, cream. And not a lot, just a little. Wonderful full flavor with a nice malty aftertaste. I can never let myself run out!

love, love, love this tea. I keep buying it!
I drink it EVERY morning and sometimes in the afternoon to. Without it, I am kind of lost , like when I stay with friends and don't have it!

I keep trying other black teas and returning to this one! It's a keeper.

Excellent, top quality tea. I am writing this review in response to my second purchase of Sinharaja. In my first review I gave it four stars because it is an excellent Sri Lankan tea with a unique flavor profile based on the fact that the tea likely gets much of its character from being grown on a plantation next to a tropical rain forest. I did not give it five stars because the website's five

I never get tired of this tea. It is tops. We are friends for life!

After getting a sample of this tea, I now find I have to have it every morning!
Touch of astringency but not intense. Lovely floral notes and engaging mouthfeel.
I have tried many black teas, both in store and on line, but this is by far the most delicious black tea I have found so far! Consistently fresh. Lovely with cream and sugar.

Love this tea. It's my breakfast tea. In the afternoon I prefer Tippy Earl Grey, although often I have the Sinharaja.

The last shipment (of Sinharaja and Tippy earl Grey) arrived with the box smashed, which in turn smashed the canister, which in turn popped the lid off the canister. There was tea all over the box. Should have taken a picture, didn't think of it at the time.

Love this tea.

This is one of my favorites. Time after time, it never gets bitter. Even if I use too much tea leaves or steep it for too long, it's always smooth. It can really handle a strong dark brewing, which I love! It's flavor comes thru in all steepings, normal, light or dark. I usually get about 2 1/2 steepings out of it, adding a touch more leaves in the last steeping to darken it up again. If you li

This tea blew me away! It is so rich, robust, and PACKED with flavor, but is never bitter, no matter how long I have let it brew! It does, indeed, have sweet notes of honey and molasses, is malty, and even hinting at a whisper of earthiness, but not in a "heavy handed" way - not overpoweringly so. It is wonderful alone, or with milk, or mixes very well with other flavors. Some floral notes have a

It took me a while to get used to this tea, but it's grown on me and is now one of my favorite teas. It's especially great on cold, rainy, wet days.

This is my favorite morning tea. It's robust and flavorful. Stands up to milk! It can be quite strong, so don't over-steep.

I'm always looking for something new, but I had to buy myself a lot of this after trying it in the sampler. It's just so smooth and tasty. I love malty/fruit-noted teas, and although I must admit I'm biased towards Ceylons, this is by far the best I've tried so far. There's just something about it I can't get enough of. Even my friends and family were immensely impressed when I served and gifted s

This tea has a striking dark amber color. There is a fullness to the mouthfeel of it. It is smooth, flavorful, nuanced. To my palate there's a dried-fruit note to it -- sort of a raisiny or dried fig aspect. There is a depth to the flavor. What can I tell you, I am besotted with this tea. :)

I love this tea. I buy it in bulk to make sure I don't run out. When I want a good solid tea with a smooth flavor-this is what I turn to. You've got to try it!

I am an iced tea drinker and a very picky one at that. This tea is fantastic and my new favorite for iced tea. Gorgeous amber color, smooth, and refreshing.

This is a wonderful tea that I always have in my tea cupboard. I buy it in bulk because I don't want to run out. Smooth and satisfying it is wonderful in the morning and anytime of day.

This was my first Golden Moon tea. We're off to a great start! The Sinharaja was smooth and flavorful without a hint of acidity or astringency. A really delicious medium-bodied black.

strong enough to stand out through a sweet breakfast. this is delicious.

Sinharaja has become my very favorite black tea. It's warm, sweet flavor is exactly what I need in the morning. I have an array of teas to choose from each day but each morning when I awake I discover I want Sinharaja. No bitterness, very little dry tannin taste. Just good.
