Peruse ethnic markets. Asian for good Chinese and Japanese bancha or sencha
greens and oolongs.....Arabic or persian for some really nice darker teas: I
like Sadaf special blend or Earl Grey, Ahmad or Shaharzad. I don't buy tea
anywhere else anymore. The price is right and the tea is always great (if
you find what you like).
