Lynn's review: "Golden Needle Yunnan is a beautiful sight to see; a fluffy, downy, gently twisted mix of light and dark slender golden leaves. American Tea Room's Organic Yunnan Golden Needle is no exception." Read review » |

Laura's review: "My favorite black tea blends are often those that are malty yet not super astringent, so that quality in this is scoring huge bonus points with me." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "The flavor was rich and complex, with notes of bittersweet chocolate, tobacco, malt, caramel, a surprising hint of smokiness, and a long wildflower honey and spring water finish, which lingered nicely in the mouth. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea is slightly sweet, slightly malty, slightly peppery, and entirely delicious. Quite simply, this is what black tea should be. " Read review » |

Dan's review: "Once again, Yunnan Gold is an extraordinary tea, and CTH's offering is on the top end of the scale, while somehow maintaining one of the lowest costs among competitors. An extraordinary value that'll make you forget about any other black tea. This is all you need." Read review » |

Dan's review: "A wonderful, sweet Pu-Erh that is surely an ideal gateway into the fantastic world of Pu-Erh teas." Read review » |
8.9/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "The tea has a natural sweetness that, although subtle, hints at cocoa or caramel flavors that underlie the general and more prominent maltiness. If you like Golden Monkey tea and/or are looking for a robust black tea, this tea's for you." Read review » |
8.8/10 | |
|
Dan's review: "K Teas Golden Monkey falls into the finer end of the Yunnan spectrum. Quality is evident upon first glance, and what it might lack in boldness, it makes up for in sophistication and elegance - pure, delicious simplicity." Read review » |

Patty's review: "This tea is subtle, but earthy and brisk (Lipton, eat your heart out)..." Read review » |

Dan's review: "The differences between the early steepings and the final cup are rewarding and well worth exploring here. This makes a great tea to explore for a few hours, although for a seasoned Pu-Erh expert, it may be a bit tame." Read review » |

|
Troy's review: "A very approachable puerh for Oolong fans, puerh virgins, and tea newbies, but appreciable by pretty much anyone." Read review » |

|
Vanessa's review: "The flavor of this tea, although weak, was peppery, spicy, malty, and sharp with a somewhat sour aftertaste. While not an outright bad tea, it was not as robust and hearty as I hoped for it to be." Read review » |
7/10 | |
|
Dan's review: "This is yet another incredible offering of a phenomenal Dian Hong. I must vow to drink more Yunnan tea than ever before -- but if I did, would it be as special and delicious if it were an everyday treat?" Read review » |
9.5/10 | |
|
Lynn's review: "The flavor is layered and complex: bright, smooth, malty, spicy, and clean. It has some pull, too, which lends texture to the sipping experience, making itself known on the tongue" Read review » |

Cindy's review: "This is a delicious cup that is just different enough from similar brands that I would certainly recommend it. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The tea has a smooth flavor with a nice finish, which I would describe as slightly spicy and peppery. I found this to be a superb example of a Yunnan tea, easily ranking among the top 2 or 3 Yunnan varieties I have tasted. " Read review » |

Katie's review: "It is an interesting and exciting tea with a very reasonable price tag." Read review » |

Dan's review: "Overall, this is a pu-erh that retains that special flavor while adding a bit of zest (orange peel and ginger), and would be a perfect introduction to the wonderful world of pu-erh teas." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "And the tea has a velvety, creamy richness unlike any other tea I've ever tasted. There's a meal like quality to this tea. " Read review » |

Steven's review: "The flavor is like hot metal and dark chocolate, though light and not heavy." Read review » |

Jamie's review: "A little bit of sweetener combined with the magic of the second infusion seem to have conspired together to produce a magical flavor that pops and coalesces into a creamy sweet dark caramel smokiness that is absolutely delicious." Read review » |

|
Dan's review: "Part of the Dian Hong tea family, this is a mid-grade quality Yunnan Gold. It has the properties of a robust black tea, but with the added bonus of that exquisite Yunnan golden tips flavor in the backseat." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "A nice hearty brew that was definitely up to the somewhat challenging task of waking me up on an early morning. " Read review » |

|
Dan's review: "Once getting beyond the funky earthiness of this tea, it's quite rewarding. This is real-deal pu-erh, and I feel that it benefits from its longer steep times as opposed to the gong-fu approach. It really throws itself out there and isn't ashamed to be itself. It's definitely not a tea for everyone (as with most pu-erh teas) and either you love it or you hate it. " Read review » |
8.0/10 |
|
Steven's review: "There's a sharp spiciness that is quite elusive, which I've come to think of as that Yunnan taste. It's highly unusual and distinctive. In a way, it reminds me of the aroma of a beehive: pollen-sweet, but with a sharp buzz." Read review » |
8/10 |
|
Dan's review: "A middle-of-the-road Yunnan tea - which is to say it's vastly superior to most teas out there. Fitting for that "Everyday Yunnan" spot in your cupboard." Read review » |

Laura's review: "Are these good? Yes. Are these reasonably priced? Absolutely. Would I drink another cup of these if you offered me one? Sure I would. I do love a good Yunnan and this one is a nice malty, zippy Yunnan with some tasty cocoa notes." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The primary flavor is a potent maltiness that demands your attention, but peppery, smoky, and sweet flavors also managed to work their way into the mix. " Read review » |

Lynn's review: "I love the look of them, and the concept. For tea snobs like me, it's hard to get a good cup of tea in a restaurant; I've been carrying little baggies of Jasmine Pearls for ages. Now perhaps I can carry my beloved Yunnan just as easily!" Read review » |

Lynn's review: "The flavor was mildly bitter, definitely astringent, with only a hint of the malty sweetness I expect from a Yunnan. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This tea features the characteristics I have come to expect from a good Yunnan: a nice peppery-like spiciness (although not too strong), a sweet maltiness, and perhaps just a hint of smokiness. " Read review » |

Laura's review: "The thing that makes this cup a little different is that it is spicier than many other offerings. It was actually the first thing that I noticed about the cup when I took a drink." Read review » |

Nicole's review: "It was mild and sweet with a hint of spiciness, a straight forward black tea. Nothing fancy or extraordinary but sometimes that is a good thing." Read review » |

Dan's review: "An outrageously-good Dian Hong with a surprisingly funky element to it." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "The flavor, however, made up for the lack. It was malty, a touch spicy, astringent, with a touch of sweetness in the finish. A splash of half and half brought out the flavors and mellowed them together. " Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "Having the vegetal properties of a green tea and the muted nuttiness of a white tea, Daughter Ring straddles the fine line between green and white teas." Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Laura's review: "While I know there are probably many out there that would consider this to be a mild blend, this is a nice strong tea for wimps like me. It packs plenty of flavor and offers a bit of astringency without crossing the line into an area that I consider to be a bit aggressive." Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Laura's review: "The mint is strong enough, and the puerh taste and aroma mild enough, that I think I would actually drink this without trying to cover it with another mint blend. " Read review » |
7.5/10 |
|
Laura's review: "It is very smooth and not very tart considering that it has the hibiscus and only a nominal amount of sugar. The berry flavor does taste mostly like blackberries as promised and is nicely done. " Read review » |

Patty's review: "My mom spoke up and said, "Now that's how I like my tea, good and strong. I like this one!" Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "This is a mild and unassuming green tea with a unique presentation. The grain-like component that came through in the aroma was also present, and most prominent, in the flavor as well. " Read review » |

Lynn's review: "While this Grand Yunnan Imperial is a bit unusual and not unpleasant—in fact, not bad—I just didn't find this to be quite what I want from a Yunnan." Read review » |

Laura's review: "While the tea is fairly smooth, rich and a bit zippy, this one just doesn't do it for me like my other black pearl option does." Read review » |

Brad's review: "This feels too far into the green tea spectrum. It isn't bad, but the sum product doesn't stand up to some similar options out there." Read review » |
5.5/10 | |

Patty's review: "This isn't a slap your face strong tea. It's delicate, without being the least bit wimpy...an aikido tea...before you know it, you're on the mat." Read review » |
7.8/10 |

Stephen's review: "A smoky, earthy blend that seems to have quite a following... and once again, when it comes to most of Adagio's highest rated teas, I just don't get it." Read review » |
