Talk to me, dear witchies, about tea. I know we've covered this a little, but I really need the nitty gritty here- not just companies you like and don't like (Teavana? Adagio? David's? Some tiny place?) but I also want to know the other stuff: top 3 flavors, loose or bagged, the kinds of tea accessories you use- or have always wanted. Be specific. Provide links if necessary. I mostly drink black tea and my favourite flavours are earl grey and lady grey and lavender earl grey. Loose tea is especially lovely and I also like jasmine tea. No rooibos, or tangy fruit teas.
