Recommend me some Tea

[Mr Smiley]

What are some good sites to order loose tea from?
Any recommendations on teas?

If you like green, I'm a big fan of Gunpowder Green Tea. Also, it's hard to go wrong with Jasmine. I don't know what brand or whatever, I try to switch it up whenever I buy it. There's a bunch of different kinds, but they're all good. I usually buy from various local places, though, so I can't recommend any sites.

Lapsang Souchong.

As for where to buy online, have you never heard of Google Shopping?

I like Lemon Tea, the one you get near Mt Everest.

 

[Mr Smiley]

Yes, I do enjoy green teas. I'm basically looking for a sweet and relaxing afternoon tea. Do you know of any naturally sweet teas?
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Irish breakfast tea is tasty. I alternate between that and English breakfast tea every morning.

Gunpowder Green tea is also tasty. It has pretty large leafs, making loose leaf brewing easy.

 

[Descartes]

Teavana
Adagio.

I've ordered from both and visit the Teavana stores regularly. Have fun.

Earl Grey is my fav....can't go without it heh.

In my experience, far and away the best places to get it is from your local Arab markets/stores....the Ahmad brand [comes in a big green tin iirc] is quite good....

Well, you live in Atlanta, which is a largish city, so you should check for tea shops. There a few places around here that sell nothing but tea and have ton's of variety. They take a base tea (green, black, white etc), then add some flavours and the result is around 150-200 different teas you can buy. Plus, when you visit the store, you can smell before you buy

as an example:

Oh, I didn't even notice he was in Atlanta. Teavana that I mentioned above is in Atlanta. They have shops in some of the malls. Great variety of teas.

Wow, I have never heard of this place. I am definitely going to check Teavana out the next time I am at Lenox.

Independence Tea.

Comes pre-soaked in Boston Harbor...

I ordered my wife some stuff from EnjoyingTea.com for Christmas. She wanted a cast iron teapot and I looked at the Teavana (I think that was B&M store I looked at) but they were too expensive IMO. I've never priced tea at Teavana...only teapots so I can't speak to their tea prices.

I have started to enjoy hojicha tea. It is a roasted green tea with a bit of of nutty flavor to it.

 

[Crono]

I've only tried Adagio, but their tea and service is good. I love jasmine tea for the aroma and flavor.

A local tea shop that I've had good luck with has a webstore:

WTF IS RECOMMEND ME.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

i have some loose leave adagio tea. got mine of the internets for a good deal, but i see it at B&M supermarkets now.

my gf loves barley tea/ genmaicha, any of the teas with that roasted flavor. i enjoy them as well, make for very refreshing iced teas and can find them without actual tea leaves if you dont want the caffeine. tons of optiosn for these at the local korean market.

i love jasmine tea, but ill drink pretty much anything.
