I think I’m obsessed with Golden Moon’s white teas. I have now tried all of the ones that were in my big sample box—before any of the blacks or oolongs! That’ll change in the morning, though: there’s a pear and a rose that I think I’m going to love.

This smells incredible dry. I can’t stand licorice as a candy, but anise is amazing. Star anise isn’t something I see much around here, and the smell is really impressive. The taste is a little closer to licorice, but it’s not that gross candy taste. It reminds me of some unusual mints I picked up at a kitchen store a few months back, which may be the first “anise” thing I really liked. This tastes like those but tea. I don’t know that I’d buy it exactly, because I wouldn’t reach for it enough, but it’s very nice.

I got my second order from Golden Moon Tea today and haven’t tried any of the new samples yet but the teas I got before have really impressed me so far. I wish their teas were a tad cheaper but oh well… I guess they wouldn’t be as good then! It seems like they have the offers of free shipping with no minimum from time to time, so that’s most likely when I would order anything from them to minimize the cost a bit.

I’ve now tried…five of their teas, I think? And they’ve all gotten ratings above 85 from me. That’s definitely worth the money for me. I hadn’t heard about those offers, so thank you for letting me know! That would definitely cut the cost down. I think I actually had to drop a tea from my last order because of shipping costs, I’ll remember that.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
