Just received my Golden Moon sampler, so my apologies for the upcoming spamming of your pages :)
It’s a rainy Saturday morning, mom is baking brownies, and I wanted something standard with my eggs. That, and considering my standard dislike of black tea, I figured I’d get the “breakfast” teas over with.
I can’t really detect anything special about it. It’s not as good as my [one] yunan (hey look, I can compare teas now!), but it’s better than other black teas I’ve attempted. The packaging claims a hint of honey, but I can’t tell. I won’t be running out to buy it, but hey. That’s what a sampler is for.

Never apologize for writing about drinking tea! I don’t care for blacks either… well- except chai=D
For me, the honey notes come as the tea cools a bit. I like this tea because I can drink it without milk and it tastes as good cold as it does hot. I do agree with you about it being not being as special as other teas. It is just a basic…very basic.
I don’t think the honey was that evident for me either. It’s an ok tea but certainly nothing special in my opinion. I’m going to do the sampler again in the future and maybe I’ll change my mind, we’ll see. Have fun with it!
cofftea: From my limited experience, I seem to be okay with chai. I feel less freakish now with my aversion to black tea :)
