    I try to buy local loose leaf.

    If you are looking for a grocery store recommendations, I love Celestial Seasonings herbal teas. They have an amazing peppermint tea.

        They’re pretty much the same price here in the UK, BUT you can buy HUGE bags of a regular variant and that makes it a lot cheaper. And 1040 tea bags last more than a week, so less shopping!

    Loose leaf tea from the middle east and for the most part which are country, region, and type based. As far as brands go, Sadaf Cardamom tea is pretty good and affordable.

    I buy it in a tea shop close by as loose leaf. It‘s a day and night difference between loose leafs and prepackaged and processed tea. It‘s also a lot of fun to try so many different teas and find the one you enjoy the most, there is so much variety.

    I drink all kinds of different tea. At the moment I often drink Keiko Matcha and lots of really beautiful green tea my friend sent me from Taiwan. I love to coldbrew green tea in summer. Greek mountain tea my parents bring me from crete. I also buy fresh mint to make tea from some of the fresh leaves and to dry the rest.

    Besides that my favorite brand is The English Teashop in all forms it comes in and Cupper/Clipper.

    If you’re in a place they ship to, check out these guys. Oolong specialist tea shop in Seattle that has some of the best quality tea I’ve ever had. It’s a really small operation, too, with people who really love what they do: https://floatingleaves.com/

    I mostly drink yanchas/Wuyi rock oolongs. Get them from various sources, no specific brand. Also occasionally reputable sheng pu-erh if I can afford some, non-pu fermented teas, jin jun mei, genmaicha, or anything Nepalese or Malawi whole-ish leaf, in small quantities (max 50g).

    I usually look for well reviewed, reasonably priced loose Darjeeling of whatever brand I can find when I want black tea. But mostly I mix teas and flower petals of various types depending on my mood. Lavender, chamomile, calendula, rose, etc.
