Online tea...

Devanmc · 01-22-2011, 11:54 AM

So i started looking for a different place to buy tea. As i hear tea is supposed to be cheap but in my mind teavana isnt a cheap pleace to buy tea. So with simple Google searches for loose leaf tea the only places i can find seem to be way more expensive the teavana. Am i missing something or is tea expensive?

Those are the two I have used. I just was looking at Stash tea however I have not used them yet. I had great service with Adagio.

What type of tea are you interested in?

Three quality vendors I can recommend are:

http://www.jas-etea.com/
http://www.floatingleaves.com/
http://www.houdeasianart.com/

I regularly drink a Chi blend from teavana and a Jasmine. I recently tried a oolong that i really enjoyed but at $15 for 2OZ, i was hopping to find it cheaper elsewhere. i will definitely check out the sites listed guys, thanks!

www.jas-etea.com is the place to go, you will get no better service than from Steve, and his prices are awesome!

Is there any quality difference between teavana and adiago?

www.jingteashop.com
They are in China but deliver quickly and have great prices and stock I can't get elsewhere.

Chinese and Taiwan tea and they have a nice selection as well.

www.thefragrantleaf.com
Better prices and selection on taiwan oolong than others.

Not a fan of teavana although their roobios is OK.

www.puerhshop.com is where I frequent. He deals mostly in, you guessed it, puerh.
Delicious stuff. comparable to cigars in a way. The stuff gets better with age for crying out loud.
