I must admit I am VERY NEW to Golden Moon Tea, but so far so good – I have enjoyed everything I have tasted! On different levels of course. For this post I will tell you about this tea…ROSE TEA from Golden Moon Tea.
I really like the design of their labels! If you email the company they are really nice and helpful when responding to your questions. Their website is quite user friendly.
Now for the actual tea review! Rose. A Rose is a ROSE is a Rose…or is it? I can’t help but think of Teavana’s Rose Marzipan Delight that I fell in love with a few months ago and then found out it was discontinued. Some Rose Teas I have had seem really bitter so when I feel in love with Teavana’s it was because they had that little bit of candied goodness to off set the bitterness. Well, take out the candied goodness and THIS is what you have. Not that that is a bad thing, this tea is actually quite good. It’s not bitter and the black tea and rose compliment each other very nicely. Thumbs up! One thing I did notice is that it’s not-so-hot on multiple infusions. I tried a 2nd infusion and it was still good just weaker. I stopped the re-steep at 2.
Golden Moon Tea describes this tea as:
Intoxicating and rich, our Rose Tea is a beautiful black loose leaf tea sprinkled with rose petals. It delivers to you an exotic floral scent and a light, florid taste that is divine hot or iced!
This is a tea I would order again. I am so glad I had the opportunity to try it. It’s perfumy aroma makes if feel like you are sipping tea in a rose garden. A true delight!

"Well, as someone who has tasted a lot of chai tea, I can attest that this really is not very similar in taste to Chai. Chai tends to focus on the spices, whereas this tea’s focus is on the orange, with the spices being very gentle and more of an accent to the orange."

"How fun! I love drinking tea so I love that you have a whole blog related to reviewing them. One brand that I really love that I don’t see on your list is the Portsmouth Tea Company. When I lived in Boston I used to buy lots of their teas and they were oh so unique. They had some really great fruity and floral blends. It’s interesting that..."

"Haha!! My co-worker told me that she purchased this tea after having purchased the Matcha Latte at Seattle’s Best, and her and another co-worker purchased this because they believed it was what was served there. She stated to me today that “it didn’t seem the same exactly…it felt like their was something..."

"I’m not absolutely certain, but I believe that this is the concentrate that Seattle’s Best coffee shops use to make their matcha latte. The lattes I’ve enjoyed there were sweet with a definite melon flavor… and I have noticed that they sell other Tazo teas there. If it IS the concentrate that they use… I am..."

"Steph: Thank you for your information about the naranquilla. I didn’t find the flavor to be very tart at all – which is what I would have expected from the combination of lime and rhubarb. Perhaps the maraschino sweetened it up a bit and made it much more peach-like. It reminded me a bit of candied apricots or peaches."
