    I'm looking to buy loose tea leaves, mostly Oolong. The health food shop type place in Pauls St. shopping centre only ever has peppermint. I tried Mr.Bells in the market too but didn't see much. Where else can I get tea?

    There's a tea and coffee and associated paraphernalia shop called Gurmans on Fenns Quay (top of the Mardyke and on the right-hand side just before you turn right for Washington Street, right by the court-house).

    Mahers on Oliver Plunkett St, just down from the GPO has leaf teas. The selection isn't as large as in the place above though.

    What you're looking for is a brand new little shop on McCurtain St. called Little Buddha. Was in there with my housemate the other day, shop is run by a very nice lady who's slightly too keen a salesperson, but they have a lot of stuff there, including your oolong, if I'm not mistaken. Also some nice coffees and a load of exotic teas I'd practically class as novelteas. I doubt it'll be the type of shop that lasts very long where it is, so take advantage of it while it's there!

    The Natural Choice supermarket upstairs beside Other Realms in Paul Street shopping centre has a whole aisle dedicated to different teas. I'm sure you'd find some there.

    Called into the Little Budda this morning, wow what aromas hit you when you get in the door, fantastic, bought some tea and ground coffee, and had a coffee to go, super stuff cant wait to try out the tea.

    Get in there and let your senses go wild.

    I walked past, and it seemed to be all tea. What was the coffee to go like?

    I've been in the shop, great little place. My one concern was that the tea/coffee would degrade over time though given the way they are stored (glass jars) - am I wrong?
