Any tea connoisseurs?

So where do you go online to buy good tea, I mean real tea leaves--the kind that you boil in a special tea pot, not the kind that you buy in the store that comes in little tea bags.

I've been having some good varieties of white tea in the form of leaf mixtures, but I'm not sure where my friend got it from. Anybody who's into this, recommend a site?

And tell me what kinds of exotic tea you like, whether it comes in a bag or not.

Whole foods has great tea, especially white. I mix teas together. Recently I picked up red tea. I mix them up. Sometimes black, white, red, green. Sometimes just black green and white. I always put milk in the tea, and honey. Every morning.

So you're saying Whole Foods sells it that way?

That tea mixing thing sounds weird. What's red tea like?

i buy my stuff from an organic mom and pop store down the road and at Alchemy tea downtown annpolic. i dont like to order losseleaf online, its like buying clothes online: you dont know if it will fit right. i like to act ually take a good look and smell at the tea before i buy it.

my favorite tea:
puh-er: a chinese ritual tea. earthy, thick, filling and woodsy
licorice root: a great sensation on the tongue
honeybush and rooibos:sweet africn tea
anise and hibiscus: fruity and great cold
assam: bitter and very earthy
nilgiri:the Earl Grey of indian teas
genmai:a chinese brown rice tea. sometimes pretty nasty tasting if it is prepared wrong

Whole foods sells loose tea and bagged teas. I mix them myself. It always has a great taste the way I do it. Rooibos african tea is the specific name of the red tea which has a slightly sweeter taste than tea. I always mix my teas with milk and honey though.
