Parrothead Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 And no, I do not mean that kind of tea. :lol: I do not have a tea shop (Jeeze it keeps getting worse) any where near me. I have to get my tea and supplies on-line. (Why do I keep cracking up as I type this? ) So far I've only ordered from one on-line store. The results were okay, but I'd like to try something different. :tongue_smilie: If you have purchased tea from an internet store will you give me a name possibly a link and maybe your favorite tea from that vendor. P.S. You ladies have really made any kind of legitimate tea thread difficult to accomplish. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Glenbrook Farms. I usually buy black teas, and I have enjoyed all of the ones I've gotten from Glenbrook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in MA Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Great loose tea of any kind. You'll have to google them but they've been around a long time. I like Assam Tea and any sort of Darjeeling (of which they have about 25 varieties!) Good service, good prices, good tea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Murchie's is a Vancouver tradition. http://www.murchies.com/ Their online store is a bit lame but there's nothing lame about their product, or service. shipping rates are here: http://www.murchies.com/wwww/shop.php direct link to the tea page in the store http://www.murchies.com/wwww/coffee.php?mCat=1&sCat=0&lst=long My favourites are No. 22 and the CBC Blend.

Guest Cindie2dds Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I get my tea fix in Germany when I visit friends there. It's amazing how many little villages have a beautiful tea shop full of green and black tea with all sorts of flowers, fruits and spices. Now I'm missing it. I hope I can find a good shop stateside. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookFanatic Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Mrs. Kelly's Tea - Custom blended teas. www.mrskellystea.com Not sure if the link will work. Free shipping with a $35.00 order. Gee, you'd think I work there or something. Actually, this is a local tea warehouse for me in Minneapolis. I've ordered for years. All they do is tea. They custom order/blend all their teas. I love Market Mint, caffine free for kids. I've tried at least 30 flavors. Favorites would be Breakfast blend, Strawberry, Cozy Camomile, Holiday Blend, Cherry Almond. Love the raw sugar too.

TXMomof4 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 The Cultured Cup started as my go to coffee store in Dallas, but I've just started ordering tea and am thrilled. Great product - I ordered on Sunday evening and received the box on Tuesday morning. I know I like the owners - I was a regular there when I lived in Dallas and they are good people. www.culturedcup.com My current favorite is the Prince Igor. It smells a little different but when it's brewed it's delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I like Mighty Leaf Tea. I buy it the 'silk' pouches for convenience on the go. I LOVE MLT. Off the top of my head my faves are: Organic Earl Grey African Nectar (Rooibos) White Lotus (white tea) Breakfast Orange Dulce Vanilla Citrus ? (herbal) Rain forest Matte Leaves of Provence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 http://www.sereneteaz.com/ I am so sad that I am out of their spice tea (black tea with cinnamon and other great stuff - smells like cinnamon red hots.) I had my last cup this afternoon. Every morning I have the Moroccan Green with Mint. Delish! Vanilla chai is another favorite as well as the Decaf Slim Mint for the evenings when I am craving a little something but can't deal with the caffeine. Too bad you don't live near me as I am about to place an order. I think they have free shipping for purchases over $100. I think I'll have another cup:).

Kareni Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Murchie's is a Vancouver tradition. http://www.murchies.com/ My favourites are No. 22 and the CBC Blend. And my husband loves No. 10!

Spy Car Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm quite partial to Ten Ren (which I visit in person, although they have a web presence). All their teas are wonderful, but I'm especially partial to their Oolongs, and especially their Loose Leaf Green Oolongs.
