best black tea I have ever had

Date:January 25, 2013
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, Unique Flavor Profile
"I never write reviews, but this tea moved me to. I have been brewing loose tea for many years and tried it all over the world, and Black Gold is the best I've found. I like a deep, strong tea I can drink with milk and sugar in the morning, and this one is perfect for that. I also like to steep my black tea for a long time to get a strong cup, and Black Gold--as other reviewers have noted--keeps getting better as it sits. It has a slightly smoky undernote (but not too much--for example, I dislike Mighty Leaf's Lapsang Souchong, which is way too smoky for me) that gives it the perfect depth. This is an expensive tea, but absolutely worth it. My only problem with it is that I have a hard time saving it for special days and will be ordering it a lot more than I planned on."

"If you want a bold black tea (and I do!) this is the perfect tea. Rich, strong flavor, but no bitter edge. Smooth as silk and as strong as it too."

Great China Black

Date:December 10, 2009
Pros: Great Aroma, High Quality, Smooth Body, Unique Flavor Profile
"I drink this tea as a breakfast tea with a little milk and sweetener. It has a great aroma and slightly smoky flavor of a good Chinese-style Keemun. If you're looking for a China Black breakfast tea, look no further."

Essential To Any Black Tea Lover's Stock

Date:October 16, 2009
Pros: Great Aroma, High Quality, Smooth Body, Unique Flavor Profile, Whole Leaf Tea, exquisite aftertaste
"Black Gold borders on perfection if you love black tea. It is dark and rich with absolutely no bitterness and a robust wonderful nutty aftertaste you will savor. It is an exquisite tea. If you are a black tea fan this is a must for your stash and if you have been thinking of trying a black tea, this is the one! To those wishing to expand their black tea horizons, I would also highly recommend Yunnan. It is purely awesome as well, with absolutely no bitterness either, a tea to relish. Both are stunningly good teas!
You will not be disappointed in Black Tea if you are thinking of giving it a try, it truly is awesome and you will enjoy every sip even after it gets cold.

Smooth and flavorful

Date:October 13, 2009
Pros: Great Aroma, High Quality, Smooth Body, Whole Leaf Tea
"This tea has intricate flavors that linger in your mouth, like good wine. I would describe this tea as fruity in the way that wine is fruity. It is consistently smooth and mellow and is a good tea for sipping. I have a standard tea for mornings (ML Vanilla), but drink this on the mornings that I want to treat myself."

Nice Second Cup

Date:February 5, 2009
Pros: High Quality, Smooth Body, Whole Leaf Tea
"This is a great tea for late mornings. I start the day with Organic Breakfast tea then use Black Gold for my second cup later in the morning. It isn't just a "wake me up" tea, it's more a "relax and enjoy a cup" tea."

The morning's first cup

Date:October 11, 2008
Pros: Great Aroma, High Quality, Smooth Body, Unique Flavor Profile, Whole Leaf Tea
"Finally! A tea that feels as good as that morning cup of coffee but without the bitterness and jitters. You can brew it as long or as strong as you like without it getting bitter. It's name, Black Gold, describes its rich, robust flavor. What a great way to start the day!"

Greatest tea

Date:October 3, 2008
Pros: Great Aroma, High Quality, Smooth Body, Unique Flavor Profile, Whole Leaf Tea, no cons
"I love this tea! It is smooth and fills the mouth with flavor. I like strong tea so I brew this tea for at least 8 minutes and it never tastes bitter. I use milk and the flavor never changes.
Sometimes I mix it with other teas such as Keemun and the resulting flavor is great. I always re-brew the leqaves and use it for iced tea. I think this is the best tea I've ever tasted.
