Teabloom Organic Golden Monkey Loose Leaf Tea, USDA Certified Organic Black Tea, Lingering Aroma with Smooth and Malty Flavor, 2.12 Ounce Loose Leaf Tea Canister Makes 35-50 Cups

This organic Golden Monkey tea from Teabloom is my new favorite tea. 1 teaspoon can be steeped multiple times to make 2 or 3 12oz. cups of tea. The 2nd photo I've uploaded shows 1 teaspoon of unfurled tea, after multiple steeping. Once you open the tin container, you're greeted with a very fragrant, fresh tea smell. There is a lot of golden tea leaves within the cannister. Yellow dust lines the container, which is the sap the plant produces to protect the buds. The taste is very smooth, full bodied, refreshing, naturally slightly sweet, and malty. There is no astringency or bitterness. The invigorating, clean, umami-filled aftertaste lingers for up to half an hour. Your tastebuds will beg you for another cup. There is no need to add sugar or honey due its natural sweetness. I drink this without milk or creamer because it's already naturally smooth. My only slight complaint is that this was shipped in a thinly padded envelop and my container was dented in 3 different areas. Doesn't affect the tea itself, so I'm not going to take off any stars. The price is pretty high per ounce, but it's worth it for this high quality, delicious tea. I hope Teabloom keeps making these available for sale, hopefully in larger bulk quantity.

Tea Bloom is new for our family. It’s a lovely tasting tea; not overpowering with the bergamot, or too mild. I’ve had some teas that were so mild we had to pay close attention to detect it. We think it’s a very balanced, wonderful tea. Perfect for our tastes. Will continue to keep this tea in our daily rotation.

Very nice rich flavor. I added about 1 tsp natural honey so the white flecks in the tea is bees wax. I am drinking this for a before bedtime tea so I will update if this is too much caffeine before bedtime. Im kind of a lightweight so we shall see. So as a side note I added a small dab of cream to my tea at the halfway mark and it gave it a much dryer and deeeeper flavor. Too rich for bedtime but definitely would be good for breakfast but beware it looked as if it may curdle

It tasted good, but I need to add a lot to make the tea strong.

Closest to Teavana’s renown Golden Monkey tea. I loved their tea so I’ve tried several brands here on Amazon, one that looks similar (in a tin container) and a seemingly popular (thousands more reviews) one in a bag. However, this one is the most flavorful and smooth yet stronger tasting. It also has the authentic yellow dusting from the harvest. After brewing the leaves opened up the most broadly out of the others I got, so seems it was picked freshly too. I will be adding this one to my subscriptions. Hope that helps others on the hunt for some excellent quality golden monkey tea!

Fine product. Inferior quality to others on the market.

So it was a bit lighter than I thought it would be, the flavor profile deffinently comes through. I can see this as a great holiday tea, the spice reminds me of Christmas a bit. I would recomend but I don’t think it would be an everyday tea for me

Get the steep where you like it and this Floral aromatic tea is one of the best. It is twice the price as some other brands but comes in a metal tin. Still a phenomenal tea and I am definitely buying again.
