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

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.

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.
