From the label: Top quality black tea with the sweet flavor of ripe fruit, and rich, smooth honey.

The smell of the tea leaves (dry and wet) is musty. Oh, I see pollen pieces on the ingredient list. That would explain the slight musty smell.

The taste is of pear. Greenish Pears that may have not been ready to pick The amber liquid does not need sweeteners. It is fine all by itself. This reminds me more of white tea than black. The pollen is probably responsible for the “flowery” taste emitting from my cup. As this cools, the taste is unforgiving for me. I cannot bear to finish this tea, the flowers, the pollen, the mustiness all came together in a bitter mess of a tea. I hope to have better luck on my next Golden Moon sample, but it is a wrap for this one.

You can purchase the Honey Pear directly from the Golden Moon Tea website.

Before brewing, straight from the bag, the leaves are long and unbroken, tangled together in a nest. The freshness of the leaves is apparent in their strength and scent.

This white tea is simple with no additional ingredients but at the same time flavorful within itself. While only containing one ingredient, this tea is far from plain or flavorless. It has the buttery sweet flavor typical of white teas but also a slight perfume.

This tea is perfect for anyone new to white tea or wishing to enjoy a simple clean flavor.
