Hi Chris,
I shop for my tea from Halmari tea and I have been very satisfied with the quality of it. All their teas are sourced from Assam, so I am guessing it will be something that you will like. And the rate is also very reasonable. Try their clonal tea, it is really very nice.

Look, €œLizzy€�, €œMary€�, and €œBella€�, I know this newsgroup is pretty much
dormant, and maybe you dont think it merits much effort on your part,
but if you want to spam it convincingly as distinct individuals, heres
a protip: use distinct email addresses.
