For Christmas I received a Bodum French Press, and I am absolutely loving it. As a result, and a little bit of extra money, I want to go buy some more loose leaf teas ( Read more... )

The almond tea from TeaSource is lovely, as is the Silk Road (Ginger) and Georgia Sunshine (Ginger Peach). You may also enjoy the Chocolate Mint or the Strawberries & Cream. I'm also fond of Lemon Solstice and Berried Treasure.

From Harney & Sons, you should try Autumn Cranberry, Black Currant, and Hot Cinnamon. I haven't had their Vanilla, but I bet it's fabulous.

Tealuxe has about eight different kinds of chai.

Upton has a slightly intimidating selection of all manner of tea, and I've never been disappointed with them. Flavored black tea is lurking under "misc. tea."

The Republic of Tea has a Cinnamon Plum, a Ginger Peach, and a Vanilla Almond of which I am particularly fond. Borders tends to only carry RoT in bags, but Whole Foods and some specialty kitchen stores will have some of the flavors in loose leaf.

The Chocolate Cream at the TeaSource is dead sexy, as is the Iron Silk Puerh.
Do try the Black Currant and the Green Tea with Pomegranate.
Oh! And the Winter Spice!
If you like cinnamon, the Montana Gold will knock your socks off, although, I should point out that I'm not fond of this. I can recognize it as a high quality tea, I just can't stand drinking cinnamon flavored teas.

I know you're looking for sweet teas, and you wouldn't expect this at first, but I've always thought that sencha has a really nice sweet flavor to it.

I am really thinking of ordering from TeaSource (mostly because they seem very decently priced!) but for some reason I can't check out with them, :( I am going to send them an email asking them what is up.

That's odd. I've never had a problem ordering from their website. Luckily, they're really good at responding to emails right away, so they should be able to help you soon!

I am in Canada, and the trouble is putting in my postal code - it isn't accepting 6characters, only 5.

There's a Vermont Maple tea at Teavana that has a lot of nice, sweet notes in it.

You should browse the Black Tea section at Uptontea.com

They are the only place I order tea from as it is exceptional quality! :)
