I found a great tea shop in the Venitian Mall in Qatar. The saleswomen were very attractive and playful. I know it may be a bit of a trip to get there, just trhowing it out there.

Mostly Chinese tea ... shop is in China but their service is quite good. I've purchased from them many times.

I prefer Jing because you are closer to the source, but have purchased from all of these guys multiple times.

A hearty second for Special Teas. Of the 3 or 4 online retailers I've purchased from, they've had about the best quality, consistently.

Depends largely on what you want. Special teas is nice for decent tea. as is Adagio.
If you want to go more high end,
http://funalliance.com/ is a nice start.
My favorite of all times is
http://www.jingteashop.com/default.cfm (Great tea, enthusiast level, direct from china).
Also, Scott at Yunnan Sourcing if you get into pu-erh like me

English Tea Store has some very good deals on tea. Don't get ripped off, try ETS.
