SINHARAJA

I love the richness of the SINHARAJA black tea. Enjoy and relax...

As a proud tea nerd, these teas are honestly and by far the best tasting teas I have tried. I have tried only 7 of theirs so far, and plan to try more! Both the stronger and lighter teas have subtlety in their flavors that have made Golden Moon teas my new favorite, hands down. yummmmmmmm

Ordered three teas as a first-time buyer, one of which was Sinharaja. Of the three this was the preferred tea, but I am still on the fence with this company. I will likely try a few more, but so far nothing has really gotten a wow factor yet.

I now have two favorites for iced tea. Sinharaja and Golden Monkey.

I first discovered Sinharaja at my parents' house. Loved the richness and the honey undertones. Now I have it in my own home.

Love the smooth complex flavor. Never bitter. Love the fact that it is organic. Started drinking more tea as I was dissatisfied with my morning coffee. Now I'm hooked. With the quality of Golden Moon teas, I have no thoughts of turning back. I drink a variety of their teas all day and this is one of my favorites.

Love all my teas and that why I have all of them . This one makes great iced

While I've been a loose tea fanatic for years, I was not particular fond of Ceylon teas... until I found this tea. It is truly a wonderful tea, full of flavor that is really nice! It is smooth and rich and the aroma is even nice. If you haven't found a Ceylon tea that excites you yet, try this one! It's organic to boot, so no worries about chemicals.

Splendid tea, was looking for a nice strong tea. (former coffee drinker) Of course you can make it any strength but i like it strong without any additions. Very pleasant taste and aroma, Enjoy

The marketing material says the owner of Golden Moon starts his day with this tea. I can see why. This is just about as perfect a cup as I've ever had. The Ceylon tea is rich but mild and has an overtone of honey. The leaves are very good quality--whole, long, no dust or breaks. Truly a top-class tea.

I tried the Tea sampler and fell in love in Sinharaja immediately. It's a wonderful black tea -- smooth, clean, enticing; I drink it morning and evening. I can't wait to try more of Golden Moon's lovely teas.

There is something so different and remarkable about Loose Leaf Indian tea. This is one of the best smooth with no bitterness. A great way to start the morning with a little bit of soy milk.

As another reviewer has mentioned, Sinharaja is straight-up perfect black tea. The right "perfume," the right brew, not muddy, not weak, not overly astringent, not bent toward anything but a crisp, clean, smooth yet wonderfully flavorful black tea experience. Tried this out through Golden Moon's Black Tea Sampler and it stood out immediately. It belongs stored in one of my best ceramic tea jars from now on, as well as everyday in my cup. Seriously fast delivery and great service from Golden Moon.

I drank Sinharaja in the U.S. I drank it in Indonesia. I drank it also in Japan, and Australia, and New Zealand. I have managed to have it everywhere I was during the last 3 years of traveling the world . Now I am in France awaiting your tea that is coming to me in a few days with a friend from New Orleans. Good thing, because I am almost out. Wherever I travel, I travel with my tea pot and my favorite tea sinharaja. What can I say? I love it. I have been to many different places, but one thing that has remained constant every day, is my morning cup (or 2, or 3) of Sinharaja tea.

Sinharaja is great. Full bodied black tea but not overpowering. Great daytime tea!

Like this rich black tea but love the Golden Money more. Current fave, Marsal Chai with a touch of Madagascar Vanilla.

I'm not any kind of tea freak. I just drink Black Tea. I don't want any extra flavors. Just the taste of the tea.

This is a very nice looking long leaf black tea. I buy it by the pound. It comes packed in a fresh seal bag with a ziplock seal for use after opening. There is little to no breakage of the long leafs which are a rich black.

I use a 16oz Teav flow through steeper. I don't use a measure. I pour some from the tin into my palm. Maybe a couple teaspoons. Then drop it in the pot and cover with fresh boiled water.

After a couple few minutes I pour and enjoy. I can drink this all day long.

To me, this is a smooth tea with nice fresh clean flavor. Nothing extra.

For the price it's worth a try. If you have tried it I bet you have some for your tea box.

I am a huge fan of your tea. It has ruined me from making tea with tea bags - no matter the brand. I have found that most tea will make two cups of tea, so the cost is very reasonable. I hope you will add some additional teas to your collection. It will be fun them out.

Beside the Earl Grey, this is my favorite black tea. It has a nice bold flavor. I like that this company doesn't use any pesticides. The tea leaves are longer so you don't get a lot of tea leaves floating in your cup. I definitely recommend trying this one if you're an avid tea drinker.

Sinharaja is my favorite tea ever, it has a rich full bodied complex flavor that gets my day started right.

Sinharaja jump starts my day! It's my favorite black tea all around in taste and quality. After I brew my first mug full, I add more hot water over the same leaves for iced tea mid morning. Round two is just as flavorful!

Sinharaja is one of my favorites. The flavor is outstanding.

Next to my all time favorite Lapsang Souchong, Sinharaja is my go to tea for breakfast or any time of the day. I like my tea robust and Sinharaja fits the bill nicely.

Nice tea to have in place of coffee.

If you are looking for the best "plain" tea. It is rich and full bodied, satisfying and comforting for those who are not into flavored tea. If I feel like flavored tea I will add a pinch of Sinharaha to enhance the flavor and body. This tea envelopes me in calm and comfort.

A great black tea! I wasn't disappointed with my recent purchase! A good way to warm on these freezing MI winter days!

Sinharaja is one of my favorite teas. It has a great flavor that doesn't require sweetening. I prefer it with cream or milk.

Sinharaja has become my favorite new tea! It has an excellent rich avor and is never bitter. Tastes great either black or with cream, depending upon my mood.
Thank you Golden Moon!

I've never had a bad cup of Golden Moon's Sinharaja tea. It's flavor is rich and tastes great. I can drink this plain or with cream & sugar. This is my number one favorite tea.

Sinharajah is my favorite tea. I can't ever be without it. I also love your French Breakfast, English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast teas. I like that your teas do not have pesticides which is why I am a repeat customer. Also your service is the best. I always get my tea very soon after I order it.

I am so glad I accidentally stumbled onto Golden Moon. I was intrigued by the variety of the teas listed and had a hard deciding what to try first. I ordered 3 different ones and while they were all excellent, the Sinharaja is by far my favorite. Love, love this black tea. The others, English Breakfast and Masala Chai, are very good.

My love for black tea started at the occasion of a visit to Sri Lanka. Going from sea level to high elevation, you could taste various teas with quite different flavors, some with an exceptional taste. Unfortunately back home, you can't find these teas. The big companies which control the tea business are selling all the time a blend of teas of various origins. Bad is mixed with not so good and the result is a standard mediocre tea. Visit Sri Lanka and you will understand. In addition, in the States, in most supermarkets you only get tea-bags. Thank you Golden Moon Tea for making this Sinharaja tea available. I enjoyed it, I feel I am visiting Sri Lanka again. Great.

I purchased this wonderful tea as a present for my wife.She loves it.It is now her favorite!

Can't think of a better way to stop mid day and make up a cup of Sinharaja. Simple perfection. All is right in the world.

When I'm craving a really rounded and earthy, but not bitter black tea, Sinharaja is my "go to". It's a rich, black flavorful tea that makes my mouth happy and gives me that lovely relaxation that comes with a great cup of tea. AHHHHHHHHHH. Just lovely.

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.
