Mariage Freres is a nice French tea line which you can sometimes find in the states. Also Peets sells some good teas online.

(Technically what you want is a tisane and not a tea, though.)

I'm a huge tea aficionado and I LOVE Fortnum & Mason -- you can only get a few of their teas at Williams Sonoma, otherwise you have to order from them in London. I guarantee that would be pretty damned unique, BUT the shipping is expensive and it wouldn't get here for xmas at this point. However, I got some varieties for my friends who are tea lovers and they were very excited to try it.


Me too!! I was recently on London and brought several boxes back with me. I'm rationing them until I know when I'm going back!


Oh, Fortnum's! You make me want to go to London immediately.

If you want to splurge a bit go to Ching Ching Cha in Georgetown. They have some great jasmine teas and beautiful tea-related items.
