    You can buy a tea sieve, a little metal thingy where you put the tea leaves in. You can also just dump the leaves in a pot make tea and filter them out with a fine metal sieve. Most often where you get the loose leaves thou also get the tools. Look for tea shops. Or check online on tea specialised pages of your country.

        You might run into a lot of Boba shops in your quest for local loose leaf, assuming you’re in the US.

        I’d recommend checking shopping malls in your area first, I’ve had the best luck with that. There’s one in our area that will even let you make your own blend by request! They keep big bins in the back.

        Other places to check might include:

        • Local specialty coffee shops, funnily enough
        • Flower shops! I’ve found surprisingly quality teas that went over really well when bundled in a gift basket for galentine’s day :)

        e: Also, anime conventions and/or comic-cons! We went to one on a whim and found some of the most fun and flavorful DND-themed blends at a stand from Dryad Teas in the merch area. A most pleasant surprise to be sure!
