    Golden Flower

    Golden Flower was suggested as a tea I would enjoy from the "tea test" on the Mansa site. It was not wrong. I am new on this journey with aged teas. What I do like most is the full flavor without the bitterness and the caffeine jitters. It's a whole new world of tea.

    Thank you for your skills in offering wonderful teas

    i just recieved my order of 12oz of golden flower brick. this tea is amazing, along with the packaging. nice sturdy boxes, well packed, and today a very nice thank you card.

    i am so glad i stumbled across your website when i was searching for teas...i am mostly a coffee drinker, or was, mostly buying single origin beans online or from a local importer here in ft worth texas. but for some reason i decided to look into the tea world...and after lots of reading, it dawned on me that tea with all its varieties would be worth looking into.

    so now im hooked on teas and all that they offer. mansa teas are by far the best quality that i have bought. your brewing techniques work for other's teas better than their brewing methods....especially when using a gaiwan. the gaiwan takes time,but the time and effort are worth it....

    so thank you for the nice thank you card in my order. thank you for your skills in offering wonderful teas, thank you for the great service, and thank you for your choices online.

    golden flower brick

    staying safe this New Year's Eve for upcoming trip....so I tried this tea out.

    I'm going to attempt to describe it as best I can. the blueberry toyed with my taste buds, more pronounced in the after taste. pristine earth after a light rain or perhaps the early morning dew. more of a semi dried Cripps apple, with a faint peppery closing. a very nice body and floral/fruit scents. to me, it's a very complex taste profile, there's a lot going on, perhaps a few more sessions will open my eyes to all it offers....very very nice and intriguing tea.

    WOW !!!

    Really enjoying this tea a lot; perfect cap to the week!!

    To be frank, the tasting notes on the provided info cards were so atypical and specific that I was pretty critical when I unboxed this sampler earlier today - but to be completely honest the pink apple note described is actually EERILY accurate to what this tea tastes like, especially in the first few steepings! Hooray for my former grocery store/produce clerk knowledge kicking in and allowing me to know specifically what a Cripps apple tastes like!?

    Aside from the taste of sweet, crisp apple notes I'm also getting a medium bodied and relatively clean tasting earthy note throughout the sip, along with sort of stewed fruit/"fruit leather" and oat undertone, and a bit of a molasses & black pepper-ish quality. Really enjoying this tea a lot; perfect cap to the week!!

    Quality tea leaves with beautiful packaging

    Once I opened my box of Golden Brick Tea I knew it was packaged with care. The instruction card that was attached was very informative & had easy to read instructions on how to brew your tea. The tea had a wonderful aroma. I will purchase another tea from Mansa as I was impressed with the quality.
