Default Favorite teas

Chinese greens in general, in particular Bi Luo Chan and Long Jing.
Whites: Pai mu tan and yinzhen silver needles.
Black: yunnan gold, period. (ok, I have rose keemun on order from
teaspring, it's well reviewed and my first good tea ever was a keemun,
but I hadn't found a good keemun since then so.. yunnan gold is
always perfect, though).
Oolong: no definite favourite, there are many that are good in their
own way.
Pu-erh: I had a few and I generally like them but there's a huge
variety out there and it looks like prices will come down soon so
I will start exploring when they do.

I try to avoid flavoured teas.

Some of the best vendors are houdeasianart.com and
jingteashop.com, and I have teaspring.com order
coming in but it's my first one. They're well-reputed, though.
inpursuitoftea.com is also good, but some of my favorite
teas from them are not as good this year as they used
to be.
