The best tea is made by yourself.
You have to buy fresh leaves and roast them yourself. Anything else is stale by the time it gets to your cup.

The other anon is a filthy liar, tea isn't like coffee and buying fresh leaf to process yourself will only end in tears.
What kind of tea/flavors do you like? I can help point you to a few types and sites.

Not the coffee anon, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for rooibos flavors or where to get a nice Chai blend?

i'm a pretty heavy coffee drinker but i'm deciding to cut down my consumption as it's getting sort of out of hand (32oz black a day).
what's a good jumping off point for tea? how do you guys make your teas? what's a good online retailer for tea?

coffee anon here
whenever i drink tea its usually as a break from coffee so I usually have a tetley green tea, nothing special. however the one REAL tea that i've had and I will say I loved is a green mint tea from Tunisia served with pine nuts, very sweet. from what I've read the north africans usually use chinese green tea.
please forgive my ignorance.

If you're in the US or Canada David's is pretty entry level. I like better than Teavana

The green mint tea you had was likely loaded with sugar, that's the style for that region. That said you can get loose leaf green tea and brew it ~180F for 1-2 minutes for a less bitter cup than what you're likely used to
