~Tea~

Alright, I am looking for a couple of specific tea blends.

First up, Teavana discontinued the husbands favorite type, which was a fairly simple raspberry black. Anyone know where to source a good blend from?

The other was one of my favorites, which was a blend of earl grey and green teas. I received it as a gift one year -- sachets but still halfway decent tea. It's still offered, but the company it's from has "g~" in it's name and so I am trying to avoid it if possible. Any ideas there?

(I still have the tins from that gift. They are adorable and hold useful things)

Have you tried looking at http://www.davidstea.com/ ? I generally buy most of my teas and tsaines there. They do ship to the states that I know of.
Raspberry teas that they have:

Happened to be the only one with actual raspberries in it that didn't have artificial flavour. =3=

I LOVE DavidsTea. I'm a regular at my local one to the point I get free stuff every so often. xp

I have my eye on one of their tea sets.
I generally get the Match Green Tea and sprinkle that stuff on/into just about everything. It's especially good when mixed into vanilla icecream. (cuz it's powder. XP)

Hello, I haven't posted in her... nor have I read all the previous comments (though I read some).

Right, so, I know some of you drink free leaf and I was wondering if any of you tried tasseomancy? (tasseomancy=tealeaf reading)
It's probably been mentioned so I might be wasting your time.

Only use the Western made Matcha with the round grind. It's a waste of traditional matcha that needs the needle shape to brew properly.

The tea festival was fun. Hubby and I tasted around one hundred and ten different teas over two days.

Currently, I'm one yixing teapot away from completing my yixing set.
