SINHARAJA

I like a bold black tea and Sinharaja doesn’t disappoint. Seems to be low acid and tannins so I can easily polish off a pot in the morning. It’s very smooth with honey notes. I rarely ad sweetener to my tea but a little raw honey enhances it. Makes an excellent ice tea as well.

It's the best black tea for breakfast with milk and honey, premium quality.

I've ordered this tea several times now, and it never disappoints. It is a go to daily drinker for me. It has a nice, deep flavor with notes of chocolate and molasses, but isn't harsh or too heavy at all.

I can't drink any other black teas after drinking this one. It's heaven. It can stand up to honey and milk, but is lovely on it's own. I buy this by the pound. Do not hesitate, order this!

I’m a huge fan of black teas, preferring to drink them with nothing added. I love that punch in the mouth they give my taste buds.

This Sinharaja is a pleasant departure from the China blacks/reds I am so fond of. It’s less bitter and has a really nice flavor.

I feel this one would be nice for any tea drinker to try, whether a fan of black tea or not.

This tea is my new favorite. It has a wonderfully strong body and an interesting complexity of flavor. I steep mine for four minutes in boiling water and I don't add any sweetener or cream. This tea is strong without the bitterness that often accompanies strong black teas.

I love Golden Moon and I wanted to love this tea but I prefer both English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast over this one. I just don’t notice the complexity others have noted. I like the cleaner brighter finish of the breakfast teas. I guess I should have known better than buying a pound of tea I hadn’t tried!

I've never experienced a black tea quite like Sinharaja. Surely these are the longest leaves of any whole-leaf tea that one can buy. The long leaves hold so much flavor! For me, black tea from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) is the quintessential black tea. Sinharaja is the ultimate. Excellent hot or iced.

Haven't tried the tea yet but im coming back for more tea just cuz the owner gave me details on how it is completely natural and organic and checked in to see if i liked the tea and thanked me for drinking it. that is customer service and i love it.

Me and black teas don't have the best of relationships. Some are very bitter or have an aftertaste that I don't care for. This one isn't like that. It's smooth and has a very nice flavor. I don't need to add as much sugar as I usually do for black teas, so I consider it a definite winner.

This tea is full of flavor without any bitterness. It might become my new favorite flavor.

Just the right amount of honey/sweet hints without any overpowering flavors. This tea stands on its own.

this is some damn good tea!!

Once I was introduced to Sri Lankan tea could never turn back. Love the subtle flavor and color of Singharaja. Golden Moon is an amazing resource for me.

I love your tea and I have never been disappointed with any of your products. Keep up the great work!!!

Before bed time, I set my Breville One touch machine to start heating and steeping my Sinharaja for three cups at 7AM the next morning.. After two cups, if I am then somewhat awake and another cup is not required, I then switch the machine to Golden Monkey for the rest of the day.
I do like the green tea sampler you sent and use Gaiwan or a Tea Cupping Set for all greens for She who must be obeyed (wife), friends that like green or myself for a change up. My favorite in the sampler was the Dragon Well.
I would very much like to know when I can get Spring 2018 Golden Monkey. I hope the grower or exporter does not mix it with what they have left from Spring 2017.
I do wish that you and other retail outfits would use the whole leaf black tea grading system OP, GFOP and TGFOP etc.
Not that most of us could or would buy FTGFOP ("far too good for ordinary people" ).
Any way, thanks for being there and only one State away.

P.S. I am 82 and (I think), like you started off in data processing.
As an operator, then programmer, then system analyst, then Data Processing Manager, then MIS Director then Salesman for Univac.
Started with unit record, then IBM 650,1400 series, then the first 360 in Greensboro then Univac 90 series, then Univac 1100 then as Univac Fed, State and Local Gvt salesman for mainframes. Now I build my own gaming PCs and use them to race other machines playing chess. No, I do not write the chess playing programs, but a good friend of mine does and uses my machines. It has been and still is heck of a ride and good tea is part and parcel to that ride.

Received tea as a gift. Liked it so much started to order in bulk. Will be repeat customer

A wonderful second cup in the morning! I like to over-steep a bit for a real eye-opening experience. One of the best black teas I've enjoyed!

I purchased the Sinharaja Ceylon Tea recently. Very good tea. I will definitely order again. Very fast shipment also. Would definitely recommend this vendor.

As a long time tea drinker from New Zealand, Sinharaja is my favorite, and my go-to Tea. Relaxing in the evening (I drink with no milk), great for cold mornings, and perfect as a gift to regular tea drinkers. It's also fairly forgiving if you get side tracked and over-brew your tea! My wife and extended family also love.

If you have drunk black tea, you MUST try this, it looks great, smells great, lasts well, and tastes awesome! I order by the pound bag I love it so much :-)

As a tea addict, it was a joy to broaden my tea experiences. I drink black tea over ice so I chatted with a very helpful employee that suggested the Sinharaia tea. Fast shipping! Love the tea tins. I will be ordering again and again.

Just the best black tea I have ever tasted.

Visually beautiful, dark and silky. With a bit of almond milk, a perfect way to start the day. My favorite black tea.

Sinharaja is my favorite of all the black teas I have ever tasted. And I have had a lot of them. I always make sure I have some in my tea cupboard because I never want to be out of it.

2nd fav behind Tippy earl grey

I am a fan of super malty, strong black teas, partly because I add a lot of honey and milk (I am a chai junkie). That being said, there are not many black teas that I enjoy unadulterated beyond the occasional oolong at my favorite Chinese restaurant. This tea, though, is outstanding As Is. It can be over-steeped and thus result in a bitter experience, but a modest, if not stingy, amount of tea leaves steeped for 4-5 minutes makes for a very satisfying cup. This tea has also been quite consistent in its tone and flavor, so that is a bonus in my book.

And yes, if you do over-steep, honey and milk makes it more than merely palatable, so having found a black tea I can enjoy in the raw, so to speak, or with milk and honey simply makes for an outstanding tea, and it is one I will continue to purchase from Golden Moon Tea over and over again.

Now if you're looking for a pre-made chai blend, search no further...it is here too. I buy it by the pound.

I (Rebecca Mumford) love all the teas that my husband bought from you, for me.. Mild, and delicious -- we're sure to get them again when this supply is used up. Thank you

So far it is one of my favorites. Smooth and mellow but oh so satisfying! Best tasting black tea ever! And I am a coffee drinker, but I’m been drinking this tea since.

Best tasting black tea ever, smooth and mild and definitely notice the hints of cocoa and honey!!!

Love love love this tea. When ordering for the first time, I thought.... Meh.... Black tea. But when it came, I was blown away by how very much I liked it. You have not had black tea until you try this one.

This is a very flavorful dark tea with a distinctly different taste all its own. Sealed in a mylar pouch it will stay fresh for a long time. I really appreciate the purity and quality of Golden Moon Teas!

All teas I get from golden moon are fresh the leaves are large and not crushed. Make amazing hot tea.

With Irma coming through GA, we had a few days where I could have turned on the heat. I didn't but I did enjoy several cups of teas, the best of which was Golden Moon's Sinharaja - very rich and enjoyable.

I have not found another black tea that even comes close to the richness and flavors of this one.

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.
