I would add the English Tea Store to the list. The blueberry loose leaf and several of their blends are staples in our house and the prices aren't outrageous either. Great customer service too. :) Preparing my pot right now! (Should I have the Peach Apricot or the Angel's Dream? Or maybe French Blend.. Decisions, decisions. :) )

Add Harney & Sons to your list. I have always been pleased with my orders. Shipped out quickly.

+1 for Rishi!

The tea they sell is amazing, plus you can get organic and fair trade tea. I buy all my tea from them, and it's always on my wish list for birthdays and holidays.

Great tasting, and good for you. Not cheap, though...

Personally, I use Art of Tea most of the time, but I also really like Rishi and Mighty Leaf. I'm not a huge fan of Teavana, though. They're one of the biggest stores, but I've always felt they were a bit overpriced.
