I can't stand green tea. Grass clippings in a cup. I'm a fan of a nice black - usually Chinese/Yunnan but occasionally a ceylon. I've dabbled in pu'erh but I don't drink them much.
I've heard of Indigo, but haven't been there. I have been to the little shop in the tool section of Sears in the Mall of America. He's got good stuff and it's a great place to kill time while the wife is shopping.
Generally though I buy all my teas from
http://yunnansourcing.com/ - while you do have to wait a week or two for shipping direct from China, the prices, selection, and freshness can't be beat.
