Dear Angie,
Yes I have personally ordered tea on line. Many of them are very reliable and carry a great selection. Please however, stay with major houses that you have heard of before.
I just will not give a credit card order to just anyone. Be aware.
Follow the sales too. They also offer great other food items and sweetners along with teaware and accessories.
If you like a particular brand, go right to the company website and sign up for web updates and coupons. Sometimes freebies.

I would probably order from Bigalow or Twinnings. My daughter purchases tea in the Philly area that I do not have here. It is loose tea in a polyester or silk bag. Mightyleaf is the brand name.

Dear Angie, All the brands you have mentioned are great brands that have been around for a long time. They are liked by most people. The internet is filled with brands and small tea merchants. Just be aware, always check out a brand making sure that they can "back up" their products. Ask for a money back guarantee. I adore loose leaf in a silk bag...the best of both worlds. I personally have my "go to" brands but I love to try new things, so I'm always dabbling in something new or always looking for samples. Good luck on your tea journey! enjoy your Mighty Leaf Mary Caliendo Tea Editor Green Tea Member

Dear readers,
When making and blending your own homemade teas please be aware that when using powdered ingredients to add to teas: for example as in chamomile powder, please make sure you read the labels ingredients.
Make sure that the powdered herb you are using does not contain any other ingredients.
Just an F.Y.I. because some products contain other ingredients and or chemicals.
Happy Tea making

I thought and was inspired because of election day...I found a tea that congers thoughts about the great USA and our friends across the "pond"
Inspired by the great forests and ancient woodlands comes a tea called "National Parks Department" this tea was inspired by nature and rugged forests woodsy and earthy.
this tea and many others are offered by Bellocq Tea Antelier
this company came from London and has settled in Greenpoint (Brooklyn) New York. They have hand crafted unique and full leaf teas and accessories.
One can look at their very "pretty" web-site and can find their tea also avaialable at an assortment of cafe's and shops across the USA.
bellocq(dot)com
*I have no affiliation with this company and I am not being compensated in any way for this forum posting.
This post was to show the availability of handcrafted and blended teas and how the tea vender was also inspired.

Just for fun something new in a bottled tea?
The POM brand has come out with a super antioxidant tea called Super Tea.
4 flavors...worth a try pomegranate juice....but buyer beware look at labels for tea content and sugars!
Check newspapers for coupons.
*I have no affiliation with this company, nor am I being compensated for this mention... just keeping readers and tea drinkers informed. Thanks.

Dear Tea Readers,
Are you frustrated or stressed out? Getting edgy? To remedy this have a cup of green tea! Why?
Green tea contains the chemical L-Theanine and this naturally produced chemical helps to reduce/ relieve anger!

Dear Readers,
Did you know that tea is now available in "K-cups"?
Many brands are now out there and in the stores......
check your newspapers for coupons for the brand Tazo (they have a green, a black and a chai available)
Tea w/o the boil? I might miss the whistle of the kettle then!
