Well, I get some good teas from local Korean and Vietnamese grocery stores, but Adagio is a bit more accessible for most people here. :)
Roasted barley tea* (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugi-cha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugi-cha) can be pretty good, too, both hot and iced. Korean markets often have big sacks of roasted barley for cheap. The roasted corn tea is also good.
* Not really a tea, it's...roasted barley. Surprise surprise.
Yerba mate is also good, but deserves a completely separate top-level post.
- Alex3917 16y agoIf you like mate then stop by The Mate Factor if you're ever in Ithaca. It's run by a cult whose religion somehow requires them to make the best mate in the world. You have to be part of the religion to work there, so I was seriously thinking about converting for a couple months just to learn how to make some of their drinks and food items.
