Hi, so to simplify this for you, you like 2 kinds of teas & would like to broaden your horizons either with bagged or loose-leaf & right now store-bought is what you have to work with.
1st… for loose leaves you will need a tea strainer. As @Amaris_Bane mentioned Tamed Wild has subscription boxes that come with some amazing loose leaf teas. I have been receiving their boxes for a little over a year now. They are great. & I have actually gotten 2 different tea strainers from them. 1 has a quartz crystal at one end that goes with a ritual for the Fall/Winter I can’t remember exactly when I got the second one. However, they are cheap, come in different shapes, easy to use, so however you get one is just fine. Maybe Amazon? Wal-Wart? I’m sure they have some kind to start with.
Store-bought is a good option & an easy one too! If you go to a store go to the tea section & look at the flavors & think of intentions for the teas based on the ingredients or follow the group teas on Thursdays or Spells8 Daily Devotional has a tea recommendation each day of the week, so you could start by trying those teas too. Honestly, that’s what I did when I first joined. I went by either the daily devotional or the group tea for flavors & got as close as possible before I moved on to the tea strainer & loose leaf. Prior to joining Spells8, my tea collection consisted of Lipton Black Tea.
Before we move on to that though, some easy ones to start with would chamomile, chamomile & lavender, black tea, mint teas, chamomile & mint & lavender, different ginger ones. Things like that. I like Celestial Seasonings but Twinings has some great seasonal teas too. My 2 favorites are the Winter Tea (it’s in a blue box) & I think it’s called Christmas Tea (green box) but they are only out around Thanksgiving to New Year’s or I have to get them on Amazon.
It’s okay to take baby steps, you don’t need to completely leap out of your comfort zone, baby steps are fine too.
