I really hate when there are multiple “teas” for the same teas, for I get confused on where I should post…
I grabbed this tea from my sample sack and got to brewing. The leaves are loosely threaded with a sweet menthol lick scent along with some wood, roast, and an odd sesame scent. I warmed my pot and placed a bit inside. The scent moves up into roasted veggies with some tandly light green wood. I washed the leaves once and prepared for drinking. The tea has the iconic odd “pencil shavings” taste which translates to a sweet dry wood. I can not some faint honey tones later one, but the brew does grow bitter. An intense green wood note (paloverde?) comes through with the pencil shaving building up. The pencil-y wood note was very direct and easily spotted. The tea is decent, and it makes fair travel tea, but it’s nothing I would keep as a staple. The qi is good though with a clear head feeling and nice energy.

Farmerleaf is intriguing to me. I like the small, family production aspect to it, but was wondering about the quality. Thanks for the review.
Anytime! :) So far, this company’s teas have been fair priced and mid quality. They make great tea for traveling and no fuss sessions, for Jingmai is sweet and easy to brew with little attention needed. I’ve liked them, but they haven’t really been anything more than just “something to drink”.
