Yes. In fact, all the delicious Indian teas from Lochan that I have been drinking lately came directly from India. I've had more than a few from Japan as well.
Currently in my cup is the Jungpana Imperial Muscatel, which I am enjoying in the company of my new furry friend, a 6-month old black kitty who we have named Odin. Odin is more interested in chasing my mouse pointer and watching the letters appear on the computer screen than what it is my tea cup but he has time to learn yet.

Yes. China, Japan, India, Taiwan.
I'm in the UK and sometimes order from the US. Some of the tea that arrives at my door is better traveled than me.

Yes. UK (for many years), China, Taiwan, Japan, India (most recently). Tempted to buy directly from Sri Lanka, but haven't yet.
Interesting topic; good TD question.
Den's Miyabi Matcha earlier, and currently Matcha Kaze. I am new to Matcha, but liked these a lot.

I buy my tea directly from Japan, China, Taiwan, and India.
Today I had English Breakfast before flying home from a faraway spot and then Ali Shan at home tonight.

From the USA so to speak, Den's Zuiko and Yame Fukamushi today. Quite a spectacular tasting. Thanks.

Tasting of Den's Zuiko earlier, really amazing! And now Yame Fukamushi, equally amazing. Thank you!

I seem to be the only one who was puzzled by where a purchase originates when `buying direct' in this virtual world.
Hibiki-an matcha karigane should be my last tea of the day.

Most definitely. Pu Erh. It takes about 20-25 days to get to me from China. I like the wait.
