I had some of this tea in a Teavana store recently. I don't consider myself a fan of black teas (I am a major oolong tea drinker) but I have to say I liked the complexity of this tea. It was a tea I had to think about. The top layer of flavor was rich in dark chocolate but the the more I drank, the layers of spice and black cherries become apparent. For someone who has an experienced palate and can appreciate all the subtle layers of flavor of this tea, it is a delicious treat for the taste buds.

Not my favorite. . .
Unique in flavor, but not as tasty as other black teas here. . . not worth the price. I much prefer Black Dragon Pearl (my favorite) or Assam Gold Rain.

Comments about Teavana Golden Monkey Black Tea:
When I first started using loose leaf tea, this tea was recommended to me and I have to say, "Thank you!". This is by far my new favorite black tea. Most reviews say that the 'Black Dragon Pearls' are better, but I beg to differ. I am a novice, so take my opinion with little experience, but in way that is even better than just the enthusiasts saying its a good tea! Great for all tea drinkers!

Comments about Teavana Golden Monkey Black Tea:
There is a reason this is a Top 10 Tea and it's because it is a high quality tea that is perfect for everyone at any time of day. I drink most of my teas pure and this tea is perfect without sugar, milk/cream, or any other tea blended in. It is mild and drinkable both hot and cold. It should not be compared to robust teas such as the Black Dragon Pearls or "heavy" noted teas. It has sweet honey notes that are very mellow and leave a clean smooth finish.

Comments about Teavana Golden Monkey Black Tea:
Great versatile anytime tea. Very smooth. Good iced and hot. Can be weak when iced-1.5 teaspoons/8 oz makes it better. Hot 1 tsp/8 oz is fine. Can definitely taste the cocoa undertones from the planting. Best all around versatile tea in my collection.

Comments about Teavana Golden Monkey Black Tea:
See title. This tea is wonderfully smooth. Just complex enough to be interesting. Lovely, delicious black tea. Works well with a tiny tiny bit of honey. Excellent.

Comments about Teavana Golden Monkey Black Tea:
As someone who loves Southern Style Sweet Tea, I love this one. It was what introduced me to the whole Tea world. It's great in flavor and if you want it sweet, then add 2 teaspoons per cup and you're good. I drink this blended with a bit of French Spice Quartet everyday and I never get tired of it.

Comments about Teavana Golden Monkey Black Tea:
Nowhere near as good a Black Dragon Pearls. Similar in taste as the Pearls, but not comparable in complexity, flavor, or finish. It does smell very good though. I would recommend this tea to a friend only to see their reaction in comparison to the Black Dragon Pearls.

Love a good black tea. English Breakfast is my #1. First cup of Golden Monkey was weak. Tried again and used more rock sugar and tea. Now I am hooked. Can't leave it alone!
