Could you recommend a good place online to order good "tea"? I'd seriously like to try some to get a sense of what real tea is suppose to taste like.

I love Red Blossom Tea: http://www.redblossomtea.com/

Also, the Hacker's Guide to Tea is a great resource: http://www.worldoftea.org/hackers-guide-to-tea/

I've been ordering from http://theteatable.com/ for a few years now; their prices are pretty good, but their selection is remarkable. I can also strongly endorse http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-tea-steeper/ as a fantastic tea steeper; I was using it long before they recommended it.

I'm surprised no one has recommended YS.

If you want to get into puer tea, a good way to do so is to order a few samples from their US site.

DAVIDsTEA is also good, they have a few retail locations around.

$20 for 250g (1lb) of earl grey tea, for example.

My wife generally imports her chinese tea from http://www.teaspring.com (she's a big fan of Bai Hao oolong) and her japanese green tea from http://www.o-cha.com .

I get most of my tea from Monterey Bay Spice Company. Nice selection and very fair prices. I recommend their organic black tea (11 USD/lb).

Based on the above comment I was expecting like $20/lb tea...not $275/lb.

I just checked and I got a box of Bigelow from Food Lion (don't judge). Based on the net weight on the box, it's a little under $35/lb granted it is a small box so buying in bulk would definitely bring that down. So I can't imagine what $6/lb tea would taste like but I'm not sure I can justify $275/lb either.

This is my cheap-ass tea by the way: http://www.amazon.com/Bigelow-English-Teatime-Tea-20-Count/d...

Feel free to suggest something that might amount to a 2x-5x price increase rather than 10x.

http://uptontea.com is somewhere in between and has not disappointed the few times I've ordered from them.
