Hey, you mugs

[docwebster]

I would like to know some good, reputable tea/coffee sellers online that you folks know of or use personally.

Stash Tea is good.

Mugs are for coffee. ;-)

Plymouth Tea is the vendor we're currently using for our tea. Great source for first-class Darjeelings and other varietal teas. (We used to use leaves.com, but they got bought out and became a frou-frou designer-tea-accessories store.)
If your tastes run more to blended or spiced teas, there's The Republic of Tea. I'm particularly fond of their Republic Chai; their Ginger Peach tea is excellent; the Hot Tea of Inquiry (green tea with toasted rice) and Big Green Hojicha (another green tea) are also recommended. Far better than the fannings and yard-sweepings Stash sells.
Neither of them carry coffee, but First Colony Coffee and Tea does. We're particularly partial to their Orange Seville coffee, which we buy in 5lb whole-bean sacks.


Almost forgot to add ... if you want a good green tea, Tazo Zen can be bought any number of places online. Here's one of the cheapest vendors.

That's where I get mine from. I know Wittards deliver internationally.
[as point of historical interest, the tea dumped in Boston's harbour was part of a shipment for Wittards.]

Savouré was one of my favorite tea shops in person when we lived in Oregon, and they've been very responsive to me in email since we moved away.

Celestial Seasonings is still my favorite tea place :)

(It doesn't hurt that the factory is less than an hour drive from home ...)

This is the URL for my favorite tea place. The only problem being that the site is mostly down right now but you can call or email them for more info and hopefully it will be fixed soon!

We used Boca Java for awhile, but couldn't use up the coffee quick enough to warrant continuing the service. Some really good seasonal specialties too.
