My Golden Moon order came in today! Several days earlier than I expected, which is a nice surprise. I impulse-bought three full sizes—dangerous, I know, but sweet/fruity oolongs are a pretty good bet for me—as well as their sampler because I’ve heard such good things.

This tea is lovely. It brews up very light green, which might suggest a lighter flavor, but it’s actually nice and strong. At first I get the oolong flavor, which is lighter and more floral than I might go for if this was unflavored. Then the coconut kicks in. Coconut flavors can be iffy for me, because while I love the fruit itself, coconut “flavor” is usually unfortunate. This one is clean and fresh. It finishes off with a more dried coconut/oolong taste. It’s nice and refreshing, and I’d love to try this one both cold-brewed and iced.

Wow! What other full sizes did you get? I recently got a tin of Coco Pouchong as well, and then a bunch of samples.

I got their Sugar Caramel Oolong and the White Persian Melon. So far all the big sizes smell amazing! Since I can’t drink them all at once I decided to smell them, haha.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
