Golden Tea Leaf Co.

so, i bought this tea as well at the same store on Granville street. This one and the Honey Red Jade. Two totally different teas, this is a very floral oolong at $11.99 per box, 15 individually wrapped sachets.
A couple of things on this tea: first, when you open the tea sachet, it smells amazing. like really light and fragrant flower. then after i brew it, the leaves expanded so much that i thought the sachet would burst. very easy to drink throughout the day. i really like this whole leaf tea, already prepared in sachet. Makes the morning and the commute easy. Golden Tea Leaf really put some thought into this oolong, it is as good as any loose tea i buy, but so much more convenient. it’s a no brainer grab and go in the morning.

I bought this tea in the boxed form, from a local store on Granville street here in Vancouver. This is a great tea. At first, I did not know what it is, and figured that I try it. It has this honey fragrance, and tastes as good, if not better than the smell. This is a black tea at heart, but the taste is not bitter. with a slight hints of citrus. the citrus and honey smell and taste is even more when the tea is cooled down.

Warming me inside out! what a nice tea.

What a wonderful tea! Soooo sweet after taste

Smells really good and amazing tea

Easy to drink. Fragrant & sweet. Generous amount of tea. Very convenient. Brews to a light yellow in color, one tea bag can be brewed multiple times.

A fragrant and easy to drink Jasmine oolong that isn’t artificial or flat.

The Sun Moon Lake Black Tea tastes mellow. ok. now that I have spent some time with this tea. This is good. at first, I was very surprised and can’t really find my words for this tea. first, I bought this tea loose. only 50g. then I realized how much I like this tea. it brews to a deep red/brown color. and just amazing. it’s a mellow tea, but complex. I’d say go taste it, and you will see for yourself.

This Ali Mountain Oolong tastes mellow and the sweet after taste lasts long

Amazing tea, everyone will love it.

I would definitely recommend this unique tea. Though the price is not for the faint of heart. This is a very small production and rare #18 cultivar. This is a very distant cousin of Assam, but after 80 years of refinement, it takes on different dimensions. Hints of cinnamon, camphor, a very very slight citrus, caramel. The color is deep earthy red, just beautiful. Never bitter, even if you forgot how long you brewed it for. it happens to me…a lot in the mornings.

This is good. Really really good. I fell in love with this at first sip. Then I had to do it all over again the next day. Seriously, this is not just because I am the company that sells this tea. This is my kind of tea. Our tea farmer hand roasted this tea just over 7 times, and yet the result is …wow. wow. you know that sometimes, you drink a tea, and immediately you can tell when it is good. It’s that feeling. Will I drink this everyday ? Honestly, no. Because seriously, I am addicted to my Puerh. But I would drink this tea may be 2 to 3 times per week. or whenever my friends come over, and we need a good tea that we can brew many many times over conversation.

Honestly, this is one of those teas I think is superbly unique. The leafhoppers bite the tea leaves, and its enzyme interacts with the leaves to naturally produce this honey fragrance. Personally, and seriously, I am not saying it because my company is selling this tea. But I like my oolong, puerh, and a good cup of strong black tea. This tea can be that, but for me, I find that I like this tea to brew for longer and drink when it is cooled to just slightly warmer than room temperature.
