Good day all!
I haven’t been into tea since Starbucks bought my favourite tea store quite a while back. looking to get back into regularly brewing some. West coast USA here if that helps narrow it down.
Thanks in advance.
Some global options which I have myself tried:
- Yunnan Sourcing - Huge Yunnan based shop. Mainly blacks and dry store puers
- Yunnan Craft - A smaller alternative to Yunnan Sourcing
- Yunomi - Japanese teas
- Thes Du Japon - More Japanese teas
- What-Cha - UK based all around tea shop
- King Tea Mall - Puer teas with more aggressive storage, but also a bit of everything
- Crimson Lotus Tea - Boutique fresh sheng
- Yee On Tea Co - HK teas
- Teas We Like - Curated shengs
Tea Adventures has a long list of online stores that sell tea and teaware. There’s a search field that can be used to filter the list. For example, a search for “teaw states” gives a list of stores in The United States that sells teaware.
Looks like a nice resource, thanks!
Can recommend https://yunnansourcing.com/
Sort by best sellers and have a browse, or maybe try a sampler. I’ve never been disappointed with an order. Consider trying one of my personal favorites- Lapsang pinewood smoked black tea. It’s absolutely lovely~
Anyone have any suggestions for bulk options in the Netherlands?
My favorite cold tea is Celestial Seasonings’ Sangria Zinger & Black Cherry Berry. In the colder months i drink, peppermint, candycane lane, or Bengal spice.
I haven’t tried the Sangria Zinger yet, I’ll be sure to look out for it so I can try.
My go to is Tao of Tea from PNW.
I’m a fan of Tea Cozy in Sacramento, CA. They have some quality teas. I’ve gone a couple times in person but mostly buy online. https://www.teacozy.biz/
Awesome! thanks for the info. I’ll check them out as well.
theres a local tea shop in seattle that I enjoy going to. they have a website for online orders too!
p.s. - if youre ever in the area, visit the location on king street. the sweetest old lady works there and shes super passionate about tea.
99% of what I drink is Ceylon and my supplier is my local middle eastern stores. Pick up pound of loose leaves every now and then, brand varies.
