Default Where can I buy best loose tea on the web in North America?

Looking to buy some good loose black tea on the internet. I do not
want to spend too much.

Looking for the regular black tea - Ceylon/Assam Indian/English
Breakfast.

Thanks

I use Upton, which gives some ratings by people who have already
bought the teas. They also have a listing of best sellers. Some of
their teas are organic, but most of the best sellers are not. Toci

Yep, start at Uptontea.com. They also offer samples of many of their
teas if you click on the drop down for the amount which is a great way
to try a few teas out of your normal comfort zone for a dollar or two.
Good Luck!

inpursuitoftea.com. It's not cheap, but the customer service is
outstanding, and they source some great stuff.

Let me put a good word in for Upton's. They have a reasonable variety,
and they sell enough tea that they won't ship you anything stale.

Dan, please tone it down this is not ad space for you or your shop. If
you want to discuss tea with those here, please do so but two self-
links in as many lines of a nothing post is pushing it. We all got it,
you own or run a web "shop" the teas you have linked are nowhere near
"the best" nor anything close to the teas we drink and discuss here
for the most part.

Or bother to read the NG charter or use Google and read all the
previous posts about non grata commercial postings. This is a
discussion group about tea. Not what you are selling. Usually what
happens is some bum shows up with 0 Usenet posts and says you are the
greatest tea site in the world. Hey Dominic I couldnt even get up the
nerve to look at the Website. I figured what I would find and start
off with a crappy New Year. If you could post some specific brazier/
kettle links I can keep an eye out locally.
