Hi
There are lots of very fine online-tea shops in USA - supermarkets
normally dont have good tea!
Of course you must be willing to pay more - but still pr.cup tea is very
cheap (even the most luxuriuos teas) .
Tea looses its flavour relatively quickly - so dont buy more than you use
in a couple of months (and store it in an airtight container)
VERY IMPORTANT : dont use boiling hot water for green tea - use 170 -
180°F !
Some good shops : (many others exist)

Sure - almost too many to mention one in particular :-)
"Dragonwell" is a good green - this is the one I "nibble":

If you like green floral/aromatized tea - try Jasmin pearls - most
people likes this tea - even ones who normally dont like green tea.

Darjeeling teas are in a class of their own - although classified as
"black" tea - it resembles green tea, but is wonderfully fruity aromatic .
Darjeeling tea is about as fancy as it gets - a bit snobbish in fact -
prices reflecting this.

And then for the adventurous ones , who are not faint at heart : the
postfermented earthtasting "Pu-Ehr" tea

Be warned - it is unlike any other tea - and certainly is an aquired
taste; - but worth the effort.
