Smooth and Slightly Sweet
I order these for my office and everyone that likes black tea enjoys the Golden Needle. They say it's smooth and has a hint of sweetness.

used to work at scented and this was my favorite tea
i love black teas in general, but nothing in the world compares to the golden needle. sooo smooth, less bitterness because there’s less tanins. the leaves are whole and well oxidized, and the caffeine content is enough to keep you awake but not make your heart race.
