NBT tend to stock a lot of more exotic variants including White Teas and Pu Ehr, have a look at the site and you'll see whhat I mean.

They also do the 'ball' and 'flower' styles which is pretty hard to source, certainly in this area

The Jade Bamboo (second pic above) is very nice and very reasonable in price for a tin. The package well at NBT in tins rather than bags when I ordered and they provide tempreture recomendations for the more delicate teas, although I usually just go with a not quite boiled water (when the kettle changes note) which should be about 80 deg C

I've printed some stuff for a tea company. I'll try and dig out their stuff, I'm sure they had online ordering.

I just noticed that NBT are quite close to me. I wonder if I could pop over and see their range.
