This is a great black tea when you want a complex and interesting cup. I would liken it to Golden Monkey, but I really like this one much better. There is a very strong honey aroma and flavor, but a little more natural sweetness than Golden Monkey with none of the astringency. The dry leaves are deep black but there is an abundance of the fluffiest and fuzziest golden tips I have even seen. You can brew this tea at least twice and still have a great cup of tea.

This note was written when I was young and foolish. I love Golden Monkey more, more, more! I love you, Monkey! Do not read this review! While Zhen Quo is excellent tea, GM is the bestest ever! And how in the world did I ever find it astringent?? Ah well, we grow and learn!
