Loose Leaf Tea,,,Where to Buy ?

FlyFishinX2

I'm new to the loose leaf tea scene, just bought myself a cheap ice tea maker and would like to start making some good green tea.....Where's a good place to buy some good Chinese/Japanese green teas? I bought my mother some teas from Teavanna for mothers day and that place is rediculously expensive so I'm hoping to avoid them if possible.

Etsy.com has lots of loose leaf tea to choose from

you can find a lot on ebay, just type in oolong into the search engine. i have bought from there on numerous occasions. BTW in my opinion the taiwan teas are the best. it usually takes about 2-3 weeks to get your teas. I have a tea set i bought in taiwan a few years ago. another good place is www.sevencups.com

I'd also say Etsy or Artfire. They have amazing teas on there.
