Someone mentioned the Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire tea on the last page--I've always loved English Breakfast tea, and after trying something like nine different brands, I found and latched onto the Yorkshire Gold kind. It's now my go-to when I want milky sweet tea. I can only find it locally in bags, but it's still my absolute favorite; once I use up my current box of teabags I'm going to internet me up some of the loose-leaf kind. I'm also fond of the Ito En bottled teas, particularly the green jasmine (this stuff right here). I tend to look really askance at bottled green tea, because the American-made stuff is all super-sweet and gross, but Ito En's tea is completely unsweetened and the flavor is lovely. Whenever I hit up the Uwajimaya I come home with at least four bottles of this stuff. Weirdly, Ito En makes a variety of their bottled green teas for the American market called Teas' Tea; as far as I can tell it's the same tea in different packaging with a higher price tag.

This Hiroshima-area company just opened a tiny shop here in Seattle (at University Village): http://www.yuitea.com/ I tripped over the store-let by accident, had samples pressed on me, and ended up coming away with a small packet of their Matcha and Rice Aroma green tea because it is so good. It's reminiscent of genmaicha, but lighter. And really delicious.  They claim that their online store will be open in early 2012!
