Haven't shopped elsewhere, don't know if their prices are competitive or not with other sites ... but we've been satisfied with their teas over the past few years.
I bought loose tea some years ago from www.tealux.ca now the site is www.tealyra.com I bought sample bags, not sure if they still sell those and 2 of smaller size/weight all good.
There is a loose teas forum with lots of information advice tips at Steepster — Best Teas
I also bougt loose tea at the site Verdant Tea | A marketplace for small family tea farmers, directly from their farm to your cup. I bought samples and small size some years ago.
And I also got samples from Chinese Tea via Steepster/forum site they did sometimes free samples and on their website you can buy sampler packs. I bought the Oolong sampler very nice.
In a shop long ago I bought loose leaf tea Twinings english breakfast.
I am the only loose leaf tea drinker in my house so I prefer to buy samples or buy very small amounts for variety.
Regarding pricey teas: you choose how you want to spend your discretionary money. I don't smoke or drink so I like my teas - some of them expensive. Same with ice cream: I'll never purchase a treat because it's "cheap".
Amazon.com sells a pretty amazing variety of teas, both bagged and loose-leaf -- I'm presently sipping a Davidson's Keemun bagged tea I ordered from them. I've also ordered directly from Republic of Tea.
English Tea Store I'm partial to south Asian black teas (in bags). But they sell loose leaf as well.
