Who is considered amongst the best purveyors of fine tea? I am pretty
fond of Rishi and just got my order from Ten Ren that I tried as a
result of seeing it on the group. So am I wondering if there is even
better stuff out there? Not that I am unhappy with Rishi, but just
wondering where my taste (and experience) lies.

Thanks-
Ed

Earl Grey, Chai, Herbal mints, and I am now starting to appreciate
greens. I have tried various Bancha and Twig and just got a shipment
of samplers from Ten Ren. I just tried Lapsong Souchong for the first
time (Ten Ran) and find it very nice and interesting. I have some of
their oolongs and such to try.

Maybe Upton Tea, they have a good selection of what you've mentioned
at decent prices. o-cha or hibiki-an possibly for some Japanese
greens. I'm always a fan of teaspring.com for Chinese teas, and Houde
Asian Art is another perennial favorite.
