Hey all! I recently moved up to Southern Washington from the Dallas area. My good friend P. got me into tea about 8 months ago, and I've been hooked ever since.

I've already educated myself/been educated on all the basics of tea, the types of tea, and so forth. One source I can thank for that education is a little place in the heart of Dallas that I'll shamelessly plug called The Cultured Cup. If you're there, check them out.

In any case, I've been missing out on my nice loose leaves. Everything that I still have is either from The Cultured Cup or ordered online from What-cha (I have some mystery tea on the way from them now actually, which should be arriving within a few days).

I've looked online and seen a few places like Tea Chai Te, but they are heavily into herbal tisanes and flavored teas. I'm not against either of those things, but, as a rule of thumb, I prefer plain leaf. So far my favorite is a Nonpareil Silver Needle from Teavivre.

I could order online, but my previous in person experience was so positive that I'm hell bent on finding a new tea house/shop/what-ever you want to call it. If anyone has ideas or a recommendation, please hit me up with a comment! Thanks so much!

(Side note: This is my first time ever posting here, so if I've broken an unspoken rule or something of the sort, please let me know, and I'll remove the post/modify it.)
