Golden Moon Tea: Review & Giveaway! CLOSED!

CLOSED!

Being a born and bred Southerner, I drink Tea. I drink lots of tea! Well, I did,anyway. Sweet iced tea was a staple in my home. But I gave it up for plain water last year.

However, water alone isn't always very satisfying. Thankfully, I discovered Golden Moon Tea!.

Golden Moon Tea was founded in 1993 and is dedicated to bringing the highest quality Teas to it's customers. They use only the freshest, highest quality whole leaf teas. Their care and concern show in the wonderful taste of each cup of tea you brew.

I was lucky enough to receive several Golden Moon Tea samples:

*Sugar Caramel:


Our Sugar Caramel Oolong tea uses premium quality green oolong leaves, tightly rolled and carefully hand-crafted and infused with sweet essences of rich caramel and burnt sugar.

Our Sugar Caramel Oolong produces crystal clear, jade liquor. Mellow and aromatic, yet slightly free spirited this tea drink offers a complex balance of subtle, lingering floral notes and a deep sweetness. A Poet's cup best describes this quality tea.

*Coconut Pouchong:


Our popular Coconut Pouchong has a flavor that is exquisitely complex with lingering floral notes. You will love the flavor of the Coconut Pouchong tea because it is sweet like young coconut water.

The flavors meld together ideally with the Pouchong base lending a smooth, complex and green flavor. Fresh is the key to the exquisite flavor offering of this Coconut Pouchong tea.

My favourite?

*Tippy Earl Grey:

It's difficult to improve upon a tea so revered as Earl Grey. But we believe we've done so, in creating a Tippy Early Grey that takes the traditional and adds layers.

To start, the base of our Early Grey contains substantially more tips than others. This requires meticulous plucking, and lends a unending complexity to your cup.

Then, we add not just the traditional oil of bergamot, but fresh, fresh lavander that blends sublimely with the citrus of the former.

All real reasons many open-minded connoisseurs of Early Grey claim that Golden Moon's Tippy is the best Earl Grey they've ever sipped.

One of the things that draws me to Golden Moon Tea is the link between drinking tea and weight loss. As most of you know, I am on a weight loss journey that saw me lose 66 pounds in 2009. Drinking hot tea has been beneficial to me and helped me on this journey.

You can read Golden Moon Tea's articles about this connection here.
