If you're ordering online anyway, you might want to give adagio.com a look. I've been ordering from them for a few years and have always been pretty happy.

Even for people not interested in tea, it's worth taking a look at their site. They have one of the nicest, most user-friendly e-commerce designs I've ever come across. It's full of little things like making the tracking information for your orders available directly from the top navigation bar, and it's all presented in a visually pleasing way.

Mountain Tea: http://www.mountaintea.com/ is excellent.

I started drinking tea after reading "A Hacker's Guide to Tea": http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1934051 a couple years ago. That article was written by the guy who ran the Chicago Tea Garden, but he closed a couple of months ago.

I used them until they stopped giving away the tins with the orders. They then promised me a few free tins with the next order, and never delivered, so I gave TeaVana a try.

Honestly I just think TeaVana has better tea, even though I prefer Adagio's website, and the fact that they have decaf green teas.

Unless it's changed pretty recently Adagio stores your password in plain text. If you use the 'forgot my password' link on their login page they mail you your current password.

edit: Just tried it, they still do.

Wow, that's fairly surprising (and disappointing) given how clued-in they seem to be from a UX perspective. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT:

For whatever it's worth, I just emailed them asking what the deal is here. Hopefully it's something they plan on fixing.
