HI ALL! from toronto, canada!!

Hey all,

first i will answer the generic questions as outlined in the admin post.

How long have you been drinking tea?
all my life but recently started to drink everyday and replaced coffee altogether.
What was your first Tea?
russian caravan from harney and sons in some restaurant with my mom when i was 8. still drink it.
What is your favorite Tea currently?
it's actually a chinese mixture of tea's called "DONG NAI CHA" or in chinese 冻奶茶 or in english also called hong kong style tea.
What is your next purchase?
it's listed below.
Where is your favorite spot to brew up?
home.

I started to drink a lot of tea since i started to work from home and I found myself trying new kinds of tea from the local markets and got hooked. i recently came back from hong kong and drank some teas there from china...loved it. while there they also had tea shops all over the place and every place served a drink in chinese called "DONG NAI CHA" anyways every place i went too made it differently but it was always good. sooo now my cravings of hong kong came home with me when i returned to canada.
Thus I went on my online venture in hopes of finding others like myself and now I am new here and i just spent the last 5 hours looking at different tea shop online. I drink quite a bit if tea but this would be my first venture into trying tea's from around the world and in loose form.
I wanted to find the following teas and wanted some current critic recommendation on types of to buy and where to buy?
also i am looking for a tea shop that accepts paypal and ships to canada.
anyways the teas i was looking to try are...

English Breakfast
Assam Black tea
Irish Breakfast
Pu-erh
Lychee Black tea

if anyone has recommendations on types of each and where that would be great and if anyone knows of a tea shop online that offers paypal check out please point me in that direction too.

thanks all.
