Loose Leaf Tea...any drinkers?

bosstones · 01-08-2017, 09:06 PM

Anyone here use loose leaf for brewing tea? Just wondering if anyone has a trusted place online that they order from or if they just go local.

BMW F22 · 01-08-2017, 09:22 PM

I don't have a place to suggest but I do drink loose leaf tea. It's good stuff.

gimmethemuumuu · 01-08-2017, 09:47 PM

I actually use loose leaf tea to make sweet tea

I use Twinings English Breakfast. Good stuff! I get it from the Twinings USA site. They'll have pretty regular 20% off coupons and/or free shipping. So, I get plenty when that's going on.

Not sure about online ordering as I go to the brick and mortar. The tea is amazing though.

i like Olong or Green tea,,,my tea shipping from vietnam or taiwan. sorry teavana.com

I'm more into teabagging mainly due to convenience but I do enjoy an occasional loose leaf Iron Buddha or Pu erh that my grandma gives me. Chinese grandmas know their shit when it comes to tea.

finaloption · 01-09-2017, 10:12 AM

yes, i drink pearl jasmine & green oolong bought from a local Chinese tea place

I sometimes buy Japanese Cherry loose leaf tea from Bad Ass Coffee.

+1 Teavana.

Received this for Christmas as a gift....good stuff.

The cup is difficult to clean though....

now closed used to have a herbalist and steeped tea and that stuff gave me a serene feeling, not really a buzz but close.

Check out the herbs in the menu.

I am addicted to a particular brand cinnamon tea and honey....drink that stuff all day.

Wife and I drink a lot of tea in the winter. For convenience we usually go to Tevana, however our friends keep telling us about Harney & Sons and claim it's the best place to get tea online.

LifeHacker also had a good post about tea:

Harney and Sons is excellent! A bakery near me carries an iced version of their Paris tea - fantastic.

aozer · 01-09-2017, 09:46 PM

I just buy hibiscus by the lb on amazon. It's pretty much the only tea I regularly drink

Biorin · 01-09-2017, 10:09 PM

Someone just gifted me a tea set from Teabox. I was very impressed by the presentation as it came in the mail (I know, unrelated to tea flavor, but to me, it's the details that signify quality). The gift note had been handwritten by the company, and everything was beautifully packaged and seemed quality. Tried one of the teas, and am a fan so far! I saw that they offer subscriptions as well, which is convenient.

For the east coasters, certain Wegmans' have loose leaf tea sections, similar to Teavana but self-service significantly less expensive.

Aatish · 01-11-2017, 05:45 PM

Use it every morning to make me chai.

GoHokiesGo · 01-11-2017, 10:00 PM

We drink a ton of tea in my house, probably half of it is loose leaf. Most of our teas are from small tea houses that we pick up while traveling, but Teavana is always consistent and easy to find around home.

We'll mix a lot of different teas, green tea with a fruit tea, ginger, lemon, honey, etc. We have a few high end 'grand cru' green teas from asia as well. If you get a really fresh green tea, it has amazing flavors and color.
