“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly memorable visit! We visited Ancient Leaf Tea Farmstand back in August and are just now getting around to writing this review — but the experience has absolutely stayed with us. We pulled in expecting a quaint little farm stand and ended up with so much more than we imagined! The farm offers a breathtaking view of the gulch and stream, and the entire property has such a peaceful, calming atmosphere that you instantly feel relaxed. Their educational video was knowledgeable and full of informative details about the tea-making process, which added so much appreciation for the work that goes into their products. The tea itself was outstanding, and their other offerings were just as impressive. We’re already looking forward to our next visit and plan to include one of their guided farm tours to experience even more of what makes this place so special. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area — it’s a unique, serene, and enriching experience! Reordering my tea now online!”

“What a lovely find—an absolute must-stop that I can’t recommend highly enough! My 8-year-old twin daughters instantly fell in love with the Butterfly Pea Lemonade, and honestly, so did I. We happily indulged and tried several flavors—hibiscus, matcha, and passion fruit—and every single one was truly divine. What made the experience even more special was meeting Susan, the owner. She was an absolute delight to talk with and so generously shared her knowledge and passion for her beautiful farm. You can truly feel the love and care behind everything she creates. 10 out of 5 stars—we can’t wait to come back! 💛🦋🍋”

“Susan and Texas Tom made my Hawaii trip perfect! We turned in the parking lot and experienced the time of our lives!! We will never forget the personal kindness we were shown!! Do not miss it! I will be ordering all my tea from them!!! The orchid trails have the orchids growing on trees!!The scenery the knowledge shared was incredible!! Do not miss the awesome farmstand!! Staghorn secret with Susan private adventure is a most!!”

“My family and I stopped at the Ancient Leaf Tea Farmstand and had an amazing time. Susan, the owner, and Swedina were a delight to visit with. They took great care in showing us around, educated about the plants on the property, and made us the most delicious tea beverages we’ve had. I strongly recommend this stop on your next big island adventure! Thank you Susan and Swedina! It was nice to meet you both!”

“Stopped by this hidden treasure long the scenic trail, “Ancient Leaf Tea Farmstand”, it Is not to be missed. Along with all the amazing teas, The Orchid trail, the beautiful views and tranquil scenery by the river. If Susan the owner is available, she will point out the different plants and trees and tell you their origins on the island. Special thank you to TX Tom for your kind hospitality!”

“What a wonderful place to visit! Grab a glass of tea ftom "Texas Tom", many flavors to choose from. Then head over to the orchid walk and enjoy the tranquil sound of the river. Hopefully your day will be as blessed as mine was and Susan will share her knowledge of all the beauty surrounding you when you visit Ancient Leaf Tea Farm.”

“We did a great tour here! Beautiful spot to stop at for tea. Freshest tea on island. Can’t recommend their matcha powder enough. It’s one of the best I’ve had. Yes it’s on the pricier side but truly you get what you pay for and it lasts a long time!”

“This place is absolutely stunning. The Lemongrass Lemonade is delicious and the people are incredibly kind. Would recommend stopping by if you take the scenic route.”
