The list I am going to post is mostly made of random entries.
Some of them I have spotted in this topic, some of them I just stabled upon when googling for tea info.
I think some of them are American. Frankly speaking I expected quite a lot more links when you asked your question.
The first two shops I use myself. Unfortunately, they are British. One of them definitely ships abroad but I have not tried their black teas. Another one is very good but I don't know whether they ship abroad. You would have to call them and ask, they are not prompt replies on email.
Nothing But Tea
I love their
Sencha Uji.
So far, it is the best green tea I have tried so far. Next one would be
Large Leaf Green but I have not tried
all of them yet.
One of my favourites is
Lapacho which accordingly to the Internet is a wealth of health, no caffeine, so I drink it every evening before I switch off the lights.
They have a good selection of Rooibos with different flavours but after trying all of them I came to a conclusion that I like Rooibos on its own the best. A good tea if you don't want caffeine.
The second shop is
Teahouse Emporium from Bath. I have been there at the end of October and raved quite a lot about it here. Very good shop, pleasant and nice owners (I think honest as well, which is a rarity) with a cosy tea room downstairs. I would visit them weekly if I lived in Bath
I tried some of their teas.
Some of them I didn't like but just like
Stitchawl I realised flavoured teas are not my cups...
