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.
