I'm looking for some new Long Jing (Dragonwell) and want to see what else I can get out of that particular style. Anyone have any that they've really liked in the past? I'm not looking to spend $10/1oz or anything super pricey, but I would like something that's got some good leaves.

Edit: Never mind, I found some at teavivre.com that suits my needs. It'll just take a month to get here.

If you're in a country that has epost, consider paying a bit more for epost shipping from teavivre. I get orders via Canadapost epost from teavivre in under a week. It's only like 7 dollars too.

Also their dragonwell is pretty good. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Is that the USPS international option?
Sounds like the same thing, it used to be called ePost/ePacket for both USPS and Canadapost, but maybe they changed the name?

So lately I've started to drink teas to switch off of coffees. What's a good budget option for a college student, preferably something I could order online from Amazon? And what are some cheap but flavorful black and greens that might be good to try? So far I've only had some various teas from murchie's, but they were all very good (their no. 22 blend loose, and their English breakfast in bags.)

Stuff that's easy to hand wash is preferable, as I'm in a college apartment with no dishwasher.

Since you mentioned Murchie's, they've got a very solid selection of loose leaf teas in their stores, I haven't been in years so I can't tell you what's currently good drinking though.

I always found their quality to be well above anything you'd find in a supermarket and better than your average chain tea store like Teavana/DavidsTea.

Amazon has a pretty terrible selection last time I looked.

Is the difference between a bagged grocery store herbal tea and a good quality loose leaf / flower anywhere near as pronounced as it is with real tea? Is it worth going to a specialised vendor? What's the cool place to order from? I'm particularly looking for a good chamomile.
