tigress_al drank Golden Monkey Black Tea by Teavivre

I ordered this some time ago, I have drank it before but never reviewed it. So here goes:
This is a smooth black (I have come to expect nothing less from Teavivre!), with malty notes. I am definitely getting grainy notes, hay, and some sweetness. I am not really getting sweet potatoe but that might come out a little bit more in later steepings.
If my memory serves me correctly, this has very similar notes to the Bailin black, but I would have to compare them.

Hello,
I am a nurse, I love to do so many things: reading, card making, scrapbooking, photography, playing with my nieces, shopping, and of course TEA!

I only started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I had a DavidsTea for the first time and have been obsessed ever since! My favourite is probably white but I have black every morning to wake me up! I enjoy most flavours out there! My favourite flavours are nutty, fruity, chocolate, jasmine, tropical.

Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.
