I'm relatively new to the loose leaf tea experience...I was introduced to it a few years ago by my wifes cousin who had a tea shop in NY and online as well. Unfortunately, I really never got into it at that time, and my wife's cousin has since closed his shop.
So I recently got back into it and have been enjoying it greatly, but the only local place I've been able to find loose leaf tea is Tevana. While I do enjoy their teas, I find them to be a bit pricey...last week I bought a pound of tea that included some jasmine oolong, and two really good black teas...with the 10% off for buying a lb. it came to around $120. I'm sure their tea is marked up, but since I don't have much to compare it to I'm not sure how crazy the pricing really is...any ideas? Where do you get your teas?
Thanks!
