SWMBO has expressed interest in getting into loose leaf teas, so I figured it'd make for a good Xmas gift. She never drinks more than a cup of tea or coffee at a time, so I think I'm just gonna stick with a cup infuser instead of a pot for now.
I'm leaning toward this for an infuser: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Twisting-Ball/dp/B008H2JMFW
Now I'm on the hunt for a wide sampler of tea for her to dive into. I checked out Upton Tea and a couple others, but it only seems like they have samplers geared toward specific types (like one sampler just for oolong, one just for Ceylon). What I'd like is one sampler with 10 or 12 teas that include one or two examples of 8 or 10 different styles.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
