Old Barrel Tea Company

They're selling some of the lowest quality sencha I've ever seen or tasted. The leaves are broken and fragmented, the color is dull with no shine, there's almost no smell, and the taste has none of the light grassy notes you'd expect from sencha. I've had better Sencha from Kirkland, the leaves were dust, but at least they were the correct color and flavor. The only way someone could say that they stand behind this tea is either if they don't know anything about tea, or if they're lying through their teeth to make their business look good. Take note that in the business's response they didn't say anything to defend the characteristics of their tea. They know what I'm saying is true. I'm frustrated with this tea because this is the type of tea and the type of company that gives people the idea that they don't enjoy tea when all they've been drinking is trash. People put their trust in this kind of company to be experts in quality tea, and the business either doesn't know what they're doing or they don't care about their customers or their product.

To Albuquerque a few times a year for work, and every time I come, I make it a point to stop by here to replenish my tea supplies if I have time. :-)

Best tea in ABQ! So many great teas and honeys to try! Also, one of my favorite places to shop for gifts! There's always something unique!
