Default Fine tea and chocolate....where to buy?

Hey all, I'm just fishing for some suggestions on where to buy fine tea and chocolate for gifts this Christmas. I've never really checked out anything but Russel Stover and grocery store "gourmet" stuff. Some ideas and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, that big chocolate ball looks like a pile of poop.....a 2600 $$ per lb pile. Thanks, every bit helps. Google has turned up a bazillion results of course.

Godiva is always good. Also check out Harry and David. As far as tea, there are so many different kinds; it's up to personal preference. Usually loose tea (not in teabags) is "fancier".

But, you could always go this route:


A 12 pack for $42... ONLY $3.50 each for ONE cup of tea... it's called Tea Forte.

I'm not sure, but I believe there aren't any See's Candy stores in St. Louis; therefore, you should go online and order some. It's good, good chocolate.
