I’ve gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I’ve been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.

    Some sellers will give you results of tests done on the tea. Others reassure you that, once you pay a certain amount for high quality tea from older tea bushes/trees, you can assume that the farmers treat the tea with care and have no need for harsh chemicals.

    Be careful with the former, of expecting certifications though. Here is a succinct explanation of why that expectation can limit your tea selection, from Jeffery McIntosh, a tea youtuber. See point at 3:50.
