Having recently returned to the wide and wonderful world of tea after a 4-year hia- tus, I find myself once again in a state of near-bliss as I contemplate the nearly ov- erwhelming degree of variety available.
I also remember how discour- aging it can be to invest in a qu- antity of leaves only to be disappointed with the liquid it produces. What do some of you do when faced with this problem?

Yep.
This is an easy one for me. I buy most of my tea from Upton Tea Imports

There are plenty of commercial teas in the ethnic stores for about a penny a gram. With proper storage teas are drinkable for years so don't throw it away just because you don't like it now. For someone new too tea and still getting their taste legs I recommend teas in order from Ceylon, Africa, Indonesia, India, China. My local tea shoppe has rekindled my taste for Tie Kwan Yin and Lapsang Souchong since I'd given up on finding something decent commercially. The LS reminds me of the taste in the air in Butte,Mt the next Monday morning after the Mt. St. Helen eruption.
