Recommendations for Tea Retailers?
I know this isn't coffee, but I figured this would be a good place to start with this question.
I am looking for good online retailers to buy whole leaf teas and tea accessories. Anyone have one the frequent? Thanks for any suggestions! -Tyler |

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.
http://www.jingteashop.com/ Also: http://www.thefragrantleaf.com/ http://www.sevencups.com/ http://www.holymtn.com/ I prefer Jing because you are closer to the source, but have purchased from all of these guys multiple times.

Re: Recommendations for Tea Retailers?
http://www.teasource.com/ is another great place. They are my local tea shop, my B&M so to speak and I love their teas. I don't have much experience with other retailers but I have always enjoyed what I've gotten from them and they have always treated me right.

Even though I have never ordered from them, this is my new favorite tea company.
http://www.portsmouthtea.com/Main.php I just found out they donated 70 lbs of tea to the Tax Day Tea Party. |

I'll second Teavana. Ridiculously expensive but oh so delicious.

Re: Recommendations for Tea Retailers?
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.

Re: Recommendations for Tea Retailers?
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 http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Yunnan-S...__W0QQ_armrsZ1 |
