Gourmet tea as a gift. Where to buy?

[Mommy Dearest]

I have bought teas from many online vendors.

Harney & Sons 

and

Adagio teas are two of my favorites.  The selection is first rate and the service is excellent.

I am brand new to the forum so I hope I am posting correctly. Let's give it a try

I also agree that Adagio.com is a wonderful online vendor for loose or bagged teas plus tea hardware.

I recently purchased their 21 oz Mikado Glass Teapot. It arrived within 24 hours (no kidding) plus they also offer special gift sets that would include a glass teapot with a sampling of teas.

They company is located in Clifton, New Jersey (for all our NJ folks) but I don't think you can shop there; it's just their place of business.

How'd did I do?

Well, you're polite, informative, easy to understand, seem to have a sense of humour....I'm not quite sure you belong here...

If only my first post could have been so good!

intelligentsia coffee has a smallish selection of very good loose leaf teas. they tend to buy in batch so the selection is variable, and you have the added bonus of some of the best coffee anywhere.
