love kusmi tea, esp prince vladimir which is an orange-infused earl grey. this one cafe near my hometown sold this brand, and i always loved going there to try a new blend.
i have also been meaning to buy some tea from leaves and flowers, esp their chai!
for green teas, rishi jade cloud is so very potent and provides a mellow caffeine release.
i also recently visited the coffee and tea exchange in chicago, they have so many unique offerings. tried their darjeeling and it was lovely!

in my old age (almost 26) i am realizing i enjoy tea more over coffee. i never thought this would happen. i only need the amount of caffine from half a cup of coffee. earl grey has the same effect as a full cup and doesn't make me feel like i am going to vibrate out of my skin. oolong and rooibos are the most delicious flavors on earth. i cr*am my pants every time i find a place that makes a GOOD chai latte. anyone else discovering the many earthly delights of tea? share ur favs <3

More of a Florida based recc, but they do ship if you're serious about your brew game.
My Favorite tea store, it sells dozens of blends- from black chocolate tea to darjeeling, matcha in between- plus so many different types of salts and sugars! Loads of cute tea accessories, and really just a nice shop to linger in, enjoy the aroma. This is perfect tea weather, after all.
