Assamica Gold Needle

I'm newer to the world of tea, and a coworker invited me to join a "tea club." He has the TeaRunner membership and gets new teas every month, so we try them out and rate them. This one is so good I bought it for myself. While I think it needs a longer steep time for full flavor, it is flavorful and smells divine.

I've never had a tea smell match the taste so well. Best chocolate mint tea I've had

If you're looking for a true treat, this is your perfect cup. Extra luxurious with a splash of maple syrup and heavy cream. Decadent!

This smells so good, like aromatic lemon depth without the bitterness, and it taste a lot like it smells. I get notes of lemon peel, lemon verbena, and some woodsiness. I was glad I didn’t any tartness, sourness, or bitterness.

I was able to drink it without any sweetener at all (it’s not sweet by itself to me, but it’s complex and smooth enough to get away with no additions). I usually add sweetener to most of my teas.

I think this would be excellent hot or served as iced tea, with sugar as well. I have enjoyed it as hot tea so far. It’s also good with honey. I haven’t tried a cold brew method, but the tea is smooth to begin with, so that seems promising.

Great teas! Worth the upgrade from boxed teabags

Night for a gift for my 12 year old daughter so needed decaf teas. She LOVES them and is looking forward to the next delivery.

Works great! Glass is perfect for teas.

Fantastic! Not too fragile but of good quality.

The Genmaicha tea is one of my favorites. It is smooth, great tasting, and just the right amount of caffeine for me. Thank you!

This orange oolong tea is delicious.

Very good tea, sweet and smooth. Also fun and pretty to make in my glass teapot!

A really delicious, smooth, black tea with low tannins and a wonderful mouthfeel. Makes at least two good steeps with little to no decline in taste, and you can get a third, slightly weaker and more tannic but still pleasant brew out if it.

One of my favorite herbal teas ever; it’s a great replacement for drinking lots of berry lemonades to help me kick my sugary drink habit! I can’t express enough how tart and delicious this is, and the lavender adds a dimension to the flavor that makes it very tasty. I got it with my tea club and am now forever hooked.

My Daughter loves this tea more than any other she's ever tried.
So much so in fact that I imported it from the US website and I live in Canada. ( I purchased the 5oz portion, it wasn'tavailableon the Canadian website) Definitely the most expensive tea I have ever purchased because of the exchange rate, shipping charges and brokerage fees.
I know I will buy it for her again because it's her favorite.
Next time though, I will try and find a way to reduce the cost.

This tastes EXCEPTIONALLY like caramel; if you like caramel or butterscotch this is a perfect desert tea for you. It also smells absolutely lovely the entire time!
