Tea
I love tea. And I'm a tea snob. There I've said it. Give me single harvest, single source, quality loose leaf. I'll drink it with milk and sugar because it's my tea and I can take it how I like it. You do the same. If you want some quality vendors to support, especially in these challenging times for small businesses, here are links to the ones I frequent.
Nepali Tea Traders Nepali tea is so good it's often sold as Darjeeling by unscrupulous vendors. This site is a little more expensive than others but it's for a good cause: ensuring Nepali farmers make more for their tea and promoting education. I especially like their oolongs.
Tea Source A Minnesota staple, this is an excellent site and friendly for beginners, offering a wide variety of teas both single harvest and blended as well as herbal tisanes and teaware.
Trident Located in Boulder, this bookstore and cafe has a curated offering of quality teas and coffees. The owner is very knowledgable and can give recommendations if you are unsure.
What-Cha Tea Offering a wide range of quality tea, this is one of my favorite vendors. The range of options is amazing. Located in England, but shipping is reasonable (or sometimes free).
Whispering Pines A newer discovery for me and I'm still exploring this Michigan vendor's offerings, but the teas so far have been fantabulous and worth the money.
Zhen Tea Located in Canada, has one of the best selections of dark (heicha) teas I've come across. Their oolongs are also amazing. Specializing in Chinese teas. Price is a little higher than some places, but I've rarely been disappointed.
Zappos. First just shoes, then handbags and now a lot of things. I'm a VIP so I get overnight everytime but during the non holiday season, they often bump regular orders to overnight. They have huge selection and one of the best websites as far as actually seeing the product from all views. Love them!
