So I want to try my hand at getting some good quality tea to start drinking. Can anyone recommend some green teas to try out? Either ordering online or I also have a Teavana nearby I can pick stuff up from. Much appreciation!

etrips - my fiancee likes Japanese green teas very much. These are some of her favourites: https://secure.uptontea.com/shopcart/item.asp?itemID=TJ30 (produces an interesting cloudy liquor and infuses multiple times very well)
https://secure.uptontea.com/shopcart/item.asp?itemID=TJ88 (great quality straight green tea)
https://secure.uptontea.com/shopcart/item.asp?itemID=TJ21 (the tea she drinks the most of, benefits from slightly shorter infusion times than recommended)

excellent! I think I'll try some of these out, very excited! Thanks much pork

Pork, I'd just like to thank you and your fiancée for the green tea recommendations. Loving the Gen-mai Cha!

Any recommendations on a water heater / kettle thing to get perfect temperature waters?

It's a little expensive but I have this and love it.

Little late, but went ahead and picked this up. Can't wait for it to get here.

On another note, my fiance wants to look into getting some Oolong samples. Anyone have any recommendations? Will most likely try 3-4 different kinds.

Thanks for more Oolong info Death Vomit Wizard! I have been meaning to order some more Oolong based on your previous advice to me, but this has even more helpful detail. Someone mentioned in IRC the store Life in Teacup (http://www.lifeinteacup.com/) who have many of the teas you mentioned and at very good prices. They also do free samples, though that section of their site appears to be broken to me. I have emailed them, so will report back what they say.

Are you using firefox and there are random white boxes? Try using Chrome or another browser and you should see the add to cart buttons.

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a "fruity" type of mate (I think this is the right terminology?) The one in particular I really like is from Teavana, Samurai Chai Mate. However I wanted to see if there was anything out there that would taste better / be cheaper.
