I have more tea than I know what to do with. But not stopping by tea stores while on vacation was simply not an option.

In hand: Lady Londonderry (black with strawberry & lemon) & Granville Island Blend (blend of 4 blacks plus strawberry). Both yummy!

And there are several good e-tea-tailers offering Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday deals:

Boston Tea Company: 30% off entire order, free gift with purchase.

Harney & Sons: free shipping

Saturday:

The Tea Merchant: 25% off everything in the store, including teaware with code “25SPECIAL”

I have purchased from all of these merchants. Adagio is the one I have the least experience with but they all have customer service that ranges from good to great. All have good teas, some better than others. I generally purchase blacks, usually flavored or darjeelings. Oolongs are fast becoming a favorite as well, especially from Butiki and The Tea Merchant. So if you want reviews of any of the teas, I can’t speak to greens/whites/rooibos/herbals.

I will say that if you are purchasing as a gift, The Tea Merchant has fantastic packaging. Tissue wrapped packets, old fashioned wax seals, etc.
