I bought the small tasting tin for this one--given the price, I didn't want to take a risk of not liking it--at the same time as 3 other teas. Without my having said anything about it, my husband and son commented on how much they liked the Golden Yunnan. It's a great tea, with a deep, smooth, rounded flavor; truly worth brewing in whole leaf and savoring.

Subtle Excellence October 02, 2012

John Wilkins

Galion, OH

A smooth taste without an overwhelming astringency. Subtle notes of earth and wind in this tea bring one to a level of relaxation that is much in demand at the end of a long day. The full leaf allows for a mellow piquancy that has no equivalent. I will continue to acquire this purity on a perpetual basis.

Pleasurably earthy with sweet undertones. When i feel drained this tea brings warmth and healing. I keep coming back the golden yunnan my brother and I drink almost half a pound of this tea a month.

My Favorite! March 24, 2012

Golden Yunnan is my favorite tea! I haven't met too many teas that I don't like, but this is my all around, "go to" tea when I really want a great tasting tea. I highly recommend Golden Yunnan; it has a smooth, golden flavor and it tastes great by itself or with food and pastries.

Now I have another favorite. I am a dedicated Oolong tea drinker, but I tried Golden Yunnan for the 1st time, intrigued by the description of "Elevate the Senses", from the cloud-veiled mountains of China. It is everything it is reputed to be. From the 1st sip to the end of the cup and a 2nd infusion, I just love it. I had to write this commentary, so more citizens are inspired to try it ASAP.

This is a very nice tea. It is worth the extra money. The taste is relaxing and smooth. I usually buy this and the earl greyer and that gives me a nice choice.

Probably the best Black Tea I've found August 26, 2011

Laura

Philadelphia, PA

I can't think of a better black tea. This is the one I pull out when I have company, or want something special. It has a lovely black tea flavor, but it's delicate, not overpowering, and not inclined to bitterness. Just delightful. We turned around an avowed black tea hater with this one.

This is a wonderful tea. My first taste a few years ago was a WOW experience. I've tried a few others since then, but nothing compares to this tea. I drink a small pot (or two) each day. I make it very strong and make it at night so it steeps until morning. Add a good amount of milk, and a 1/2 tsp of brown sugar. Heaven in a cup.
