Golden Moon's French Breakfast Tea
Copyright (c) 2008-2023 Jon M. Stout
If you think that morning requires a cup of coffee to get you going, think again. Many tea drinkers already know the secret: a good breakfast tea can give you a morning pick me up that’s just as distinct as coffee’s and with a great tea flavor.
Breakfast teas are named such because they are a bit stronger than other teas, designed to open the eyes, just like coffee. They also typically go very well with food, so that they are easily enjoyed along with whatever you’re eating in the morning, as well as on their own. Breakfast teas are nearly always made from black tea, as this is the most robust tea, and has the most caffeine.
You’ll find many breakfast teas from which to choose, but we think Golden Moon’s French Breakfast tea is one of the best out there. First of all, it’s made from Ceylon tea, considered some of the world’s most flavorful tea.
Ceylon was the original name for the country of Sri Lanka, where this tea is grown. Sri Lanka is the third largest tea producing area in the world, and much of it stays in the country for consumption. Only about 19% of the tea consumed outside Sri Lanka is Ceylon.
Ceylon tea is subtly different than Indian or Asian teas in both taste and color. It brews to a slightly red color and has a very bright and distinct taste. It is robust and astringent. Tea is grown at several altitudes in Sri Lanka, providing slightly different tastes. The tea leaves are twisted and left in longer particles than teas from other countries.
Ceylon teas are typically found only in high end teas in this country. And, Golden Moon’s French Breakfast tea is of the highest quality. The flavor is complex and strong, with subtle notes of honey, giving it just a hint of sweetness to counterbalance the strength.
Many tea drinkers, especially in the US, don’t realize how important tea quality is to the end result that we find in our cup each morning. Most of us were raised on the generic tea bag, which, in most cases, produces the worst cup of tea you can have. In most cases, tea bags are made from tea dust that is unusable for loose teas. In recent years, high end tea producers have been creating tea bags filled with very good quality tea leaves, but these are few and far between.
You’ll still get your very best cup of tea from using loose tea, which you should keep in airtight containers and use within a few months for best taste. Many people complain that loose teas are too expensive, but the truth is that if you get a really good loose tea, it’s actually more cost effective than a lower priced tea bag. You see, with a good loose tea, you can easily get a second cup from your leaves, but when using teabags, you must choose a fresh one for each cup to get any flavor.
Really good teas are rare in the US. There are just a few purveyors of tea who provide really high quality loose teas like Golden Moon’s French Breakfast tea. That’s because producing good tea is hard work and requires skill and tenacity.
The best tea producers must have working relationships with the best tea gardens all over they world. In the case of Golden Moon’s French Breakfast tea, it comes from one of the best Ceylon gardens in Sri Lanka. And, Golden Moon is assured the very best that this garden has to offer because they are a preferred customer for the tea grower. Only with these kinds of relationships can you be assured the best cup of tea.
Golden Moon has gone to great lengths to find the best tea gardens all over the world. This requires sampling a lot of tea and working with a lot of growers to find just the ones that are right for Golden Moon. But, only with this kind of tenacity can Golden Moon find and blend teas that are truly unique and especially delicious. These relationships with growers are critical because they ensure that you can rely on the tea to be of the same quality each and every time you purchase a batch.
So, you may not realize it, but a lot of work goes into that cup of French Breakfast tea. The complex and bold flavor is no accident, nor are the particular leaves chosen an accident. Golden Moon has worked hard to ensure that you get a leaf that will give you the flavor it promises and that will stand up to a second infusion if you desire. These qualities make Golden Moon’s tea a great value and a product you can rely on.
Don’t take your morning cup of tea for granted, and don’t settle for less than the best breakfast tea around. Paying attention to the fine details of tea production really does produce a better cup of tea. And, Golden Moon has left no detail overlooked in this French Breakfast tea.

Green tea has a history that dates back thousands of years.
Although this particular type of tea is only now gaining major
notoriety in the West, it has been known to the Chinese and
Japanese for centuries. This type of tea is less heavily
processed than its counterpart made from the same leaves, but
despite this fact, it has not been a heavy export from Asia until
the past few years.
