9 Tasting Notes

Darjeeling Tea from Golden Moon Tea
87
Darjeeling Tea from Golden Moon Tea
87

Very tasty, sweet and smooth. I love the way this smells as I’m pouring it into my cup. Relaxing and mellow, it balances very well after a meal or between meals. Both fruity floral and a tiny bit nutty at the same time.

French Breakfast from Golden Moon Tea
96
Nepalese Afternoon Tea from Golden Moon Tea
74

Good strong black flavor, may have slightly oversteeped (5 min: the bag says 3-5 min.) because it’s a little bitter. Would be good with a little more water or shorter steep. Has a slightly fruit and honey aftertaste. Could go in the morning, too. On second steep, slightly flowery-unidentified spicy flavor, creamy and goes down smooth and mellow. Pretty good.

Pu-erh from Golden Moon Tea
75

Very interesting, I bought it in a sample size when exploring new teas from Golden Moon. It tastes like a mild black tea, steep 2-3 minutes. Earthy, cinnamon hints, like a non-sticky, less sweet cinnamon roll. Good breakfast tea, no bitterness. The dry tea smells a little like enriched potting soil, a rare aged tea. It goes down smooth. It’s listed as a green fermented tea.

Sinharaja from Golden Moon Tea
98

I love this tea when I’m in the mood for black. It’s initially milky, with a smoky hint, later full bodied caramel with toasty aftertaste. I could sip this all day, and I love to re-steep my teas. I let it steep a little longer than most.

Coconut Pouchong from Golden Moon Tea
35

I’m not a fan of flavored teas and this one has a strong coconut flavor, not too sweet, but weak, I couldn’t taste the tea. It smells nice, though. The bag says it is made with green leaves, I couldn’t tell green or black.

Temple of Heaven Gunpowder from Golden Moon Tea
85

This is my favorite Green Tea lately, as long as I don’t over-steep it. It has a mild, mellow green flavor with a hint of white, smooth & pleasant. Not bitter or overly grassy for a green tea.

White Licorice from Golden Moon Tea
82

Great tea, mellow white with just enough licorice (actually star anise) flavor; nicely balanced, neither overpowers. Sooths the stomach and tasted as good on third resteep as the initial steeping. I got it from a Golden Moon sampler, so I only had enough for one afternoon.

Bio

I used to drink black coffee and switched to tea for health reasons. Then I received a loose leaf steeper mug as a gift and love exploring the world of tea. People who only drink bagged tea don’t know what they’re missing.
