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
