Teatime Botanicals Strain Review

[guitartodd77]

I found Teatime Botanicals on our March vendor list. They had some unique stain names so I decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did.

I picked up a sampler pack initially. TTB allows you to customize your sample pack freely. Initially i was looking for some strong greens and went with the G. Batak, G. Bota, G. Kapuas, G. Banjar and G. Baik. All of the samples were very good as well as potent. In fact, I had to dial it back my normal 4g dose to 3gs. Of the samples, I re-ordered 500gs of the Green Baik.

Green Baik

Overall - 8.5/10
Pain relief- 8.5/10
Stimulation - 5/10
Relaxation - 8.5/10
Mood Lift - 8.5/10
Duration - 7/10

The G. Baik is a mid-spec with a "Bali-esque" aroma to it. I get that "warm blanket" effect with it. It was definitely my favorite within the sample pack but the other samples were not far off of that mark.

I went back to TTB in my search for the daytime leaf that can help me with pain while at work. I've been testing fast greens and whites from several different vendors recently including BB, STH, Sacred Sons, Okie, Odie's, KOG, Liza's and several others. I really like TTB's White Vietnam as a go too strain for straight up energy or to add some pep to a slow or mid spec strain.

White Vietnam

Overall - 8/10
Pain relief- 5/10
Stimulation - 9/10
Relaxation - 3/10
Mood Lift - 7/10
Duration - 5/10

The White Vietnam is a quenticential fast strain. Again, potent, requiring that I reduce my typical dose slightly to optimize the effects. I've been trying a lot of different whites lately and the TTB W. Vietnam is in my top 3 whites of all time. Very stimulating and clear for use at work when I need to be on top if things.

Overall, I've tried 8 different strains at Teatime Botanicals and all of them have been high quality. Not a single dude in the bunch and for me, that is very rare.

One other thing, the customer service at TTB is very good. The owner is very responsive to questions and has proven to be very helpful and knowledgable. I look forward to ordering through Teatime Botanicals again in the very near future. Note that TTBs does have a 48hr to 72hr turn around time but that is clearly stated on the website and worth the short wait in my opinion.

I'll be adding reviews for the W. Horn and Super Indo later in this thread.

I pulled the trigger on a single 500g of the G. Baik. I'll post a review* after I get the larger qty and burn it a few times.

They have a group of about 2000 people on fb. I haven't seen any complaints. Everyone seems to enjoy their product. I have not tried them personally, as I gave up most of the FB vendors and only follow the suggestions from this forum.

Thank you BunnyBoo2011. I rarely get on facebook so I had no clue. .

So many great vendors listed in this forum and the info provided takes alot of the guess work out of finding good leaf. I have about 6 years of experience searching for the right batch to help me with my chronic pain and MDD that comes along with it. ive purchased plenty of low quality leaf in that time. All that to say, I'm batting around 900 since finding and leveraging this forum. I'm grateful to be a member.

I gave up most of the FB vendors and only follow the suggestions from this forum.

yes, Tea Time is a "Facebook vendor" but also, they were found to be participating in the S.R. group (attacking other vendors!) obviously they are "friends" with that group et cetera. Sorry, there's too many Independent vendors who don't hang with those "groups" on FB.

We're keeping the Reddit Vendor List totally independent so any drama or bullshit involving those FB "groups" gets you removed! And right now, ANY association with other "groups" of vendors, such as a Trade Association, or otherwise vendors grouping together, to throw shade on other vendors.. That's BS!!

The issue is Support. Don't support any vendors involved in the Facebook drama !! Don't play their games. Vendors would be wise to NOT respond, to any "new customer" from Facebook, asking questions about your business.. Some of these people are acting like Agents of the FDA! But, they don't work for FDA, they are self appointed jerks!

DO Support, the MeWe vendors who have their own "group" there. MeWe has developed as the ANTI- Facebook. When the Facebook assholes try to invade MeWe, they get blocked and removed.

Tea Time Botanicals is a really nice group of ppl. They don't throw shade on any vendors I'm aware of. They also have a Mewe group as well. They aren't associated with SR, they just try to keep the peace with everyone as their owner is a very sweet lady, that has from what I've seen send ppl in need free kratom many times. I would suggest reaching out to them before thinking they are associated with SR or Kraton assholes as nobody wants to be associated with either of those. As for me every product I've tried from them has been great! They are definitely in my Top 3 vendor list. ❤

[guitartodd77]

Thanks. I've ordered from TeaTime a couple times and I've been pleased with the service and product. The selection is 2nd only to KOG/Liza's and the quality is right up there as well.

Personally, I love the TeaTime Baik. Its excellent and i purchased a large qty of it.

[Ezriderx2x]

I ordered from TTB a few times back in Dec. And Jan. and it was average quality. Now that we are in dry season I was curious if the quality had improved, so thank you for posting a review. They do have a large following on FB. The owner seems very personable, down to earthand provides great customer service. There has been some drama surrounding her company in the past that could have been handled better, but that doesn't effect the product.

Keep the reviews coming...curious to see if they are worth another try..

[TEATIME]

Hi there,

I'm the owner of Tea Time Botanicals, I'm not aware of any drama in the past? If anyone is a member of our FB Group, you would know we have a zero drama policy. I personally, try my best to provide not only great customer service, but also safe, quality products that people can afford. We do not wish to be involved in any drama that this community may bring, we are only here for the passion we have for this plant. If anyone has any questions, I'm happy to help! In this industry it seems that every vendor has a story behind them, true or untrue. I'm not quite sure what "My story" is, but we've been in business for several years, and do not play into all the drama that this community brings. I welcome anyone to join our group, we also have a mentor chat, to assist those with questions, or someone new to this plant. I am also available for any and all questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] (I hope I was allowed to put that in here?)

Thanks!

Also, I'm not associated with SR at all. I'm not sure where you got that information from, nor have I ever said anything bad about another vendor. I am also more than just a FB vendor, we also sell to many smoke and vape shops. Yes, we do have a very nice FB group, full of awesome people. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but I'm sorry - you are misinformed.

"The drama that this community brings?" Oh please, give us a break, compared to Facebook, are you
kidding me??? Drama is EXACTLY why I don't do Facebook and the reason many of us are members
of this community! It's comments like the yours that creates any so-called "drama" on this forum which
I suspect was the reason for YOUR comment....to create drama!

Sure, there's a bit of "drama" on every forum, but this forum, in my experience (which is vast) isn't even
close to Facebook and some of the other venues around these internets and googles!

She is referring to the Kratom community not this forum per-say as everyone knows the entire Kratom community has drama

[TEATIME]

I wasn't referring to "Drama" here. I was referring to drama in general. Yes FB is rampant with Drama. A few years ago it wasn't this way. Now, I solely remain active in my own group, where it is "Drama Free"

That being said, I do consider someone that knows absolutely nothing about me, making claims that I'm some how associated with SR to be "Starting Drama" Instead of taking comments made by individuals here as "preaching the gospel" it would be wise to take a moment to actually get to know the vendor.

If that's the case, then my apologies and my bad! You'll have to admit that the way it
was phrased could easily be taken as an affront to the DoubleM community!

Ive been using tea time botanicals for over a year now and its the best most consistent and best bang for your buck ive found. The staff is probably the most polite and helpful ive ever encountered. On top of all that they have a huge selection of several items .

They have so many strains, can you recommend some daytime\work day strains that are currently good?

The owner, Jen, has been super helpful to me via email. Her email address Is listed in this thread. I recommend contacting her If you need a recommendation to place an order quickly.

I'm also seeking a few daytime/work strains. I ordered the W. Vietnam, W. Horn and W. Bota and they should arrive later this week. I plan on writing up a full review after I put them through their paces. I think we could use a few more daytime/work strain reviews on here.
