New online tea shop for Yunnan teas - Farmerleaf
I’ve only tried one of their teas, with other samples home I’ve yet to try, but I liked it, a Dian Hong black tea:

The last comment did make me stop and think; would I call the tea spectacular? Or are black teas in this style even supposed to be spectacular? Or which tea types are? It was nice, but it seemed more in the range of an exceptional version of a basic tea type. There is a sub-theme to consider prior to my own take: can I objectively identify teas placed in relation to the best examples of a type / style, and for which teas? I drink a good bit of tea, but only for the last 4 years or so though, so I don’t tend to imply such claims, I just describe what I drink. Not so much here; the writing gets to be a bit much.
