I have been ordering my tea from a place in TX. It is all loose leaf. They have a gunpowder green tea that is great! I drink mostly green tea, but will drink black on occasion.
What is the name of the place? I usually order from Republic of Teas.....oh poop. I gotta order my wife some of their "Comfort and Joy" tea for christmas.
Thanks for reminding me!
It is zhitea.com I have tried quite a few different teas and I like this one a lot. I did get some tea from Canada (I work with a lot of Canadians). That place is called Teaopia. My friend picked it up at the mall in Windsor. They have a Creamed Earl Grey and Monks Blend which are outstanding along with a Holiday Blend with is great.
I always like a spicey tea. There is a loose leaf one I drink a lot during the winter called Cardimon Cinnamon tea that is awesome and there is also a Chai Spice I found at Target thats pretty good.
Maybe I should get some of my chai out and have a cup of that.
Website for the other is Teaopia.ca
Chai sounds good...I have one of Teaopia's teamaster. I works great with loose leaf. It strains it as you dispense it into your cup.
Thanks a bunch! I'll check into those. One my sister uses, and a coworker is adagio teas:

I see they have an "ingenious" teapot like the brewmaster I have. Almost identical in fact. I will have to look into what they have.
Yeah I think its the same one teaopia has, or at least it looks that way. I need to get one cause I drink tea like a maniac during the winter.
With loose leaf you can steep it more than once. It loses some of the caffeine and you might have to steep it a wee bit longer. I go thru pots of tea in the winter.
Yep pots is about what I go thru. In fact, I bought an extra coffee maker for my office in my basement at home just so I could make extra tea there while I do my consulting work. Its a lot easier that walking up and down the stairs.
