Shopping for Tea Online

Shipping rates aren’t really a concern of mine. I’m not looking to buy $10 worth of tea.

I look for a company that gets good reviews from experienced buyers. I don’t prefer flavored teas, so I don’t buy from places that focus on that. I look for a shop that has a good selection of the teas I like (lighter oloongs). If a shop has less than 5 choices in that category, I won’t bother with them.

The biggest issue for me is small samples. I’m very picky. I only actually like about 1/4 of the tea I try. I don’t want to buy 2oz of something only to find out its in the 3/4 of tea I don’t care to drink again.
