(The chocolate drinking was short-lived, maybe 4-5 months.)

I've been drinking green tea now for what seems forever. I have three primary green teas that I rotate between each morning. The three varieties are Dragon Well, Sencha Kyoto, and Bi Luo Xian. I have become particularly fond of the Sencha Kyoto.

I now even pack the tea along with a carafe when traveling. I also carry with me a small tin that holds 6 tea bags. The 3 teas I named above I buy in losse form (in bulk). For the tea bags, I use The People's Daily Green Tea. I bought a couple of years ago, the Traveler version so that I can carry tea bags with me.

I recently read in one of the magazines I subscribe to, that green tea not only helps you lose weight, and losing a few pounds is something I could use, but actually deters gum disease. Just more incentive to continue drinking the green tea.

I have tried buying green teas from other vendors than the People's Republic of Tea but have found it difficult to find a seller of comparable (in my estimation) quality. For those of you who also enjoy green tea, where do you buy it and what do you buy?
I've been buying from People's for about 10 years now. I get the Green/Ginseng/Honey in bulk, and then mix in others when I order my bulk order
