What is a great online shop to buy tea at?

Wednesday Feb 3, 2010

I would like to buy some really interesting and good tea – not just the boxes I buy at the grocery.

I don’t care what form it is in (leaf, bags, powder, etc).
I don’t care what type of tea it is (green, black, herbal…).
What is your favorite store, and what are your favorite teas, there?

http://www.teatrekker.com/main.htm <– I like this one the best
http://www.puerhshop.com/ <– Great pu-erh specialist
http://www.svtea.com/
http://www.adagio.com/

My favorite tea from the first link listed would probably be Da Hong Pao oolong.

    Try the following online website:
    http://www.iherbs.com
    http://www.lifesvigor

    There are many types of tea: white, red,green, brown,floral, herbal, combination.

    I like chinese green tea because it is good for slimming and it taste light and refreshing.

    Adagio and Upton are good general-purpose tea shops. If you’re a devotee of one particular class of tea there are other options, but if you want to try something out those two are good. Harney and Sons is similar, but a bit pricier and carrying far more tea in bags.

    If you want to drink Japanese green teas, Den’s and O-cha.com are two very well known and well-liked online tea stores. Den’s even has a sampler. Be warned that Japanese green teas are fussy, expensive, and hard on my stomach (but even the cheap stuff is too tasty to resist for long). I’m not as into other varieties of tea so I can’t point you at great vendors for them.

    TeaChat (a large online tea forum) has a new vendor guide area. Right now only the Japanese green tea vendors are well-covered (they were used for testing the idea), but it will grow.

    I get my stuff from http://www.chai-box.com

    they have a good combination of indian and chinese teas, and quite affordable. Shipping time is about 10 days, and their flavours are more authentic than the others I have tried… My favourite there are their Dragon Phoenix Jasmine Pearls
