Canadian Superstore sounds like just the ticket, Gryphea.

Other Calgary residents who want a large selection of tea (including loose tea) may be interested in Steeps Teahouse at 880 - 16 Ave SW.

Those who work downtown may be interested in TotaliTea, located in Bankers Hall, at 315 - 8 Ave SW.

I mean packs of bags where each individual teabag doesn't come in its own plastic/paper individual wrap

Humble apologies.

Bought my Earl Grey at Costco and they come individually packaged

Had a pot of Earl Grey in a tea house on Banff High Street and that Earl Grey tasted nothing like my home brew!

It does seem to be over bergamoted here. Canadian superstore it is then!

Find the best tea's in the local Indian\African import food shop.

We have lots of ethnic super markets (ie non-european ) and shopping around these you'll be surprised how many stack your favorite foods.
