"Alright. So you've decided you're going to drink loose leaf tea. Where are you going to get it. Most supermarkets might have a limited selection. One or two kinds of loose tea and everything else is going to be bagged tea. So there are a few other places where you can go to find loose tea. One place I would recommend, look in the phone book, look on the Internet. See if the city where you live has a specialty tea shop. Now these are generally going to be a place that sells a lot of the equipment you need to brew loose leaf tea as well as a large selection of teas. Again, I said, there are over 3000 different kinds of teas that come from that single tea plant. And a really good specialty tea store will have anywhere from 150 to 500 of those different tea varieties on hand and they usually will let you sample a few of them in the store. And so that's one place. Another place you might want to look is on the Internet. And there are tea sellers on line and you can order your loose tea in bulk and have it shipped to your house. So those are just a few places you can go to buy loose leaf teas."
