Bulk or "leaf" tea question...
I am about to give my wife a snappy tea infuser/strainer thing I purchased at TeAvana and wanted to get her some loose/bulk/leaf tea (tea not in pre-packaged bags) but I have quickly discovered that they sell tea much like they sell smack - in small quantities for huge prices...
So... Can anyone recommend a good online or other vendor for loose tea that she can try out? If you have any recommendations for flavors (like the Thai-stick or Red-thread Maui Waui) I would apreciate that too. Thanks.

Republic of Tea has good stuff although I've never ordered from them direct.

Not sure what direction you want to go, but I drank a lot of PG Tips and Typhoo while I was stationed in the UK and enjoyed them. Both are available in bulk loose form and are good examples of English Breakfast blends. Cannot speak to the other varietals Ceylon, Darjeeling, Lapsang Souchong, etc. Good luck!

Maybe you can get a sampler. Some tea I love, some I can't stand, like the greens...
