Thanks for the website suggestions. I'll look them over and perhaps order a "sampler." There are so many choices!

If I may be so bold as to suggest....
If you like black teas, try the Keemun, Golden Assam, and China Black from McNultey's. Their Ceylon Dimbula is also very, very good.
For nice blends, my two favorite tea companies are 'Taylors of Harrogate' who make a great 'English Breakfast Tea' and 'Yorkshire Tea' (both regular and Gold,) and 'Fortnum & Mason' for their 'Royal Blend' and their English Breakfast Tea.'
These eight teas make up 95% of my total tea consumption. I like the breakfast blends for my 'wake up tea' as well as the Keemun and China Black, and the Assam, Ceylon, and Royal Blend through out the day. Should I feel the need for an extra 'kick' in the afternoon, I drink another Keemun or China Black. I'll add in 'Russian Caravan Tea,' 'Lopsong Souchang,' and the occasional Pu-er, Imperial Gunpowder, and Ti-quan-yin to round out the list.
I don't mention most other oolongs or greens as I am force-fed these when ever I visit friends or family, or go to the corner sushi shop!
