Imperial Gold Needle (2025)

Your chocolate cherry bomb tea is so tasty, thank you!

This is absolutely delicious! Deep, robust, and complex. It’s so good that I bring it with me when I travel. It brews consistently (no variations in flavor, color, or strength) and the second cup from the same leaves is as good as the first. It has become the backbone of my morning routine.

I am a fan of Milanxiang and Duckshit oolong. And now 8 immortals is new addition to my tea cabinet!

I’m absolutely in love with this tea. It’s perfectly balanced, subtly sweet but earthy in a really smooth way. The first time I tried it I knew it was my new favorite tea.

I wasn't sure how I would like a "plain vanilla rooibos" tea, because I always seem to go for the tea blends with all sorts of ingredients, but this tea proved to be excellent! This rooibos brews into a reddish brown tea. It tastes like vanilla rooibos with an edge of bourbon-barrel aged oak flavor; even a little reminiscent of cherry pipe tobacco. I hope this blend stays in the rotation!

This tea is so delicious. The green tea leaf is buttery and grassy-green, and the brown rice, to me, gives it a savory taste: like an unsalted popcorn green tea. This is the only tea that I re-steep when I make it; so delicious I try to enjoy as much flavor as possible from it. I try to always have an extra bag of this genmaicha in my cupboard.

It is as described: it's a robust, do-a-few-kickboxing-highkicks-in-your-living room sort of caffeine punch that I enjoyed, and it also has full flavor, not just hinting at the chocolate or puerh. It's a really solid, bold, delicious black tea!

I drink this tea on mornings when I want the full caffeine and experience of black tea, but also need a calming, chill effect of the lavender. So on mornings I'm feeling anxious, stressed or worried, this tea always works for me. A delicious earl grey tea, with a dash of calming lavender. It works well for me!

Hands down. It's bright, creamy, smooth not astringent, and it's the right blend of earl grey flavors that makes it: not bitter - but bright. (I think bergamot can be tricky. I feel there is such a thing as too much bergamot. lol.) Best earl grey ever!

Several years ago, I replaced my morning cup of coffee with black tea for many reasons. I still enjoy coffee sometimes, but I have been ordering flavored black tea blends from Tea Runners for the past few years. This is a newer one, and definitely one of my favorites. It had a caramelized creme brûlée toasted sugar thing going on, and I really love it!

It's tasty, but not too sweet. Something about the combination of the jasmine flowers and the vanilla gives it a creamy vanilla cookie taste that isn't overpowering, but just the right balance to make it one of my most frequent morning black teas! I ordered three more bags. lol

I am not big on the flavored teas but this one is my favorite, I keep coming back for more!

It is smooth and tasteful. I realy enjoy the flavor of this tea

This is the most delicious tea, hot or cold. The aroma is wonderful.
Very refreshing.

What a great green tea. Very unusual but great!
