I drink a lot of tea, mostly green. I get it from an online company at adagio.com. I use loose tea but they do have their own type of tea bag which is far superior to what is bought in the stores. They contain whole tea leaves, not shredded pieces, like store tea bags, and they have enough room for the tea to expand as it steeps. They have maybe 100 different green teas.

But, don't get the idea that tea has to be green in order to be good for you. All tea is actually green tea. Black teas and oolongs start out as green tea and go though an oxidation process that changes their color. This was done in order to allow them to survive a log sea voyage from China to England way, way back when. It was found that the tea lasted longer if it were oxidized.

Anyroad, got to Adgio.com. If you order $50.00 the shipping is free. I order about $50.00 of tea about three or four times a year.
