Good day all!

I haven’t been into tea since Starbucks bought my favourite tea store quite a while back. looking to get back into regularly brewing some. West coast USA here if that helps narrow it down.

Thanks in advance.

Ok just being on the west coast doesn’t narrow this topic down at all.

Are you looking for prepared tea, loose leaf, or bubble tea? Depending on which city you are close to there are tons of great local options.

For loose leaf tea in bulk, I usually go to an Asian grocery store. They tend to have pretty affordable loose leaf options that a tasty.

When looking for something specific, I try and find a local tea shop to browse the loose leaf variety.

If you’re in a pinch and need some bagged tea, most grocery stores carry Celestial Seasonings. Their herbal teas rock, my favorite is the peppermint!

I was just putting out a feeler to see what the popular options are at the moment. Loose leaf tea is preferable as I’d like to get some mileage out of this teapot I was gifted.

I’ll have to prowl some of the Asian supermarkets then. I completely overlooked this, thanks for mentioning.

I second you on the Celestial Seasons peppermint btw, stuffs tasty.

I’m a fan of Tea Cozy in Sacramento, CA. They have some quality teas. I’ve gone a couple times in person but mostly buy online. https://www.teacozy.biz/

I’ve been liking Yuuki Cha (yuuki-cha.com) - organic Japanese teas. And heretically enough I’ve been doing cool water infusion. It’s great!
