My first time having a golden monkey tea. It’s definitely not what I expected – very different from any other black tea I’ve had. It almost has a sort of grassy flavor to it, but it’s very sweet. Interesting. Haven’t totally made up my mind on this one yet, but I like it.
Preparation
Was very nervous to try a Lapsang Souchong for the 1st time. Wasn’t completely turned off but I haven’t quite figured this tea out. I feel like a campfire is now invading my senses.
I kind of switch back and forth on caffeine-free teas. Lately I am completely addicted to our Vanilla Bean Honeybush! It has bits of true burbon vanilla and it really puts me in a nice state of mind after dinner. It’s not too sweet and has a very soft palette.
Actually, I’ve found that it needs boiling water for the steeping, but then once it’s in your cup, the best flavor comes through right as it gets to a temperature that your taking true tastes instead of tiny sips.
Enjoy!
Some mornings a good pure (not blended) black tea is just the right thing to start off the day!
Hi Laura – we are going to start offering sample sizes very soon, but currently the 4oz bag size is our smallest. Use this Gift Certificate code to take $5 off your first order so you can try some of our tea: NEW23CUS

I am just a new guy here, but isn’t it a little self-serving to rate your own tea? I think Steepster should ask if you work or represent a tea company or retailer before they let you post.
I 2nd Frank – why do you keep rating your own teas? C’mon, be brave!
Trust your own customers to give their honest opinions, rather than simply inflating the score by putting “100” on your own. There are several companies here on Steepster that don’t rate their own teas but people know about them and like them because they allow real customers to give their real opinions.
