I was reading recently that the green and black teas we buy in the grocery store are often very processed and therefore less beneficial nutritionally than they could be. I don't know if that's really true or not but it got me wondering about where else to buy good tea. Do share please.

Thanks!

Tea, and coffee, from the Baltimore Tea and Coffee company. We like their 1# bags of loose decaf tea for iced tea in the summer. The tea itself seems very "leafy" not so powdery.

I second Adagio. I got my order from them (and an IngenuiTEA) and I have been really pleased. The Chamomile flowers are huge and beautiful, and they have tons of selections and flavors. I got a bunch of the "sample" sizes.

I've shopped around for a lot of green tea and the best price for loose organic green is Plymouth Tea. (They also have free shipping for orders over $50 right now.)

They have a wide selection of green, white and black teas--Japanese, Chinese and Indian. And they always send a sample of something different to try...

I can't figure out links... but you'll find it if you type in Plymouth Tea co.

Ooh...thank you so much for the link! I finally found something to get for my mother for Christmas...nothing like last minute!    It should get there by the end of the week in time for her to open on Christmas Day. And free gift-wrapping to boot! Great!

I have been very happy with Adagio.

Last week when I was at the mall I sampled some Teavanna. The Roobios Chai is super yummy! Do you have a Teavanna near you?
