Purveyors of Fine Tea?

Sep 17, 2009 Last reply: 16 years ago 3 Replies

Who is considered amongst the best purveyors of fine tea? I am pretty fond of Rishi and just got my order from Ten Ren that I tried as a result of seeing it on the group. So am I wondering if there is even better stuff out there? Not that I am unhappy with Rishi, but just wondering where my taste (and experience) lies.



Thanks- Ed


What kind of teas do you like?

Earl Grey, Chai, Herbal mints, and I am now starting to appreciate greens. I have tried various Bancha and Twig and just got a shipment of samplers from Ten Ren. I just tried Lapsong Souchong for the first time (Ten Ran) and find it very nice and interesting. I have some of their oolongs and such to try.

Maybe Upton Tea, they have a good selection of what you've mentioned at decent prices. o-cha or hibiki-an possibly for some Japanese greens. I'm always a fan of teaspring.com for Chinese teas, and Houde Asian Art is another perennial favorite.
