Dear Tea Lovers:
When you buy your tea from online vendors or from tea shop-
1)How much you buy (I mean a specific tea in mg. or pound)? 2)where do you buy more-online vendors or from tea shop? 3)How often do you buy tea? 4)How much you spend for tea (Monthly average)?Ripon (From Bangladesh)

Either a sample or 1/4 pound. I like to drink a variety of tea, so I don't want to buy too much of any one.
Almost all on-line vendors. We have only one tea shop here in the Boston area as far as I can tell (T-luxe). Certainly strange, given the size of the city, the high proportion of well-educated people, and the history of the place.
A few times a year.
Beats me. It is a small expense compared to other things.
In the 1-2 years I've been going through my "kid in a candy store" stage of discovering the varieties of loose tea, so I've been buying more than I probably will in the future. I've only purchased more than 4 oz./125 g once or twice.
I've been buying from online vendors a bit more than stores, perhaps 60/40 or 70%/30%.
I probably spend $15-20 a month.

I've only just started appreciating tea, so I'm buying small quantities and trying things out. So far I've bought loose Assam ("Tarajulie Estate") and gunpowder green in 4-ounce quantities, and Earl Grey and English Breakfast in 25- and 40-bag containers.
Again, I'm just starting out, but all of this was online. I did buy a box of Twinings Earl Grey in the grocery store just to compare, to convince myself that what I bought online is better. I was convinced.
I've placed two orders in the last month, but I have no idea how often I'll be buying. I do think several people I know will be getting tea and tea accessories for Christmas, however.
I am budgeting myself around $20 US a month for now.
4-8oz
I have a nice international food store nearby that stocks products from around the world including a wide assortment of tea. Nothing fancy but I can get inexpensive reasonable quality tea. If not for this establishment, I'd be forced to buy online exclusively. With it, I buy about half online and half there.
Whenever I run out or when certain seasonal teas become available.
$15-$25US

About a half pound
I buy one particular tea from an online vendor who is the only one who makes the blend I like. The rest comes from grocery stores and teashops.
As soon as I notice I am running low
$15.00
