PrintWebsites to purchase good loose-leaf tea?
Generally I buy loose-leaf tea in random stores, but have found no time these days. Also I have always been curious of what's out there on the internet and which brands are good aside from the mainstream ones.

Mighty Leaf Tea is a great site, and great fresh tea. They have both loose and quality bagged, as well as accessories.

Oh I was going to say Mighty Leaf too. It's the only place I buy from these days. The quality is great. It is pretty expensive if you get the bagged ones (which are also biodegradable), but the loose leaf teas are more reasonably priced. Recommended: any of the jasmine ones, the chamomile citrus, Kyoto rice and organic Earl Grey.

Adagio Tea; a nice selection, excellent customer service and tea accessories. Check them out.

Harney & Sons... Wonderful Suggestion Thank you so much!

Thank you for the suggestions! I am going to visit all the sites listed. My favorite go-to tea is Earl Grey and if it's too strong I like to mix it with some vanilla tea.

sympathyforthekettle.com and alicesteacup.com are two nyc-based shops that i like which have online stores for teas and accessories and interesting blends.

Ah, yes! I have been to the actual store - Sympathy for the Kettle too! I really like their Green Paradise Tea and did not realize that they have a website!

Definitely recommend Adagio Teas! They have some good teas, and even a special tea of the month package where you can sample two different kinds a month!

I'd certainly recommend trying TommysTea , an interesting mix of blends and high quality teas for a boutique online seller!

The best loose tea website i've found is www.leavesnotbeans.com
All my favorite teas come from here. The mango and wild pineapple make the best iced tea.
