Where did you buy your RRL tea?

I've read that loose-leaf is better, but I've seen everything from blends in tea bags (like the Earth Mama Angel Baby brand) up to just bulk red raspberry leaf.  What do you drink and where did you get it?

ETA: Has anyone tried the Mama's Red Raspberry Brew from Bulk Herb Store?  It's ~$16 for 1/2lb of loose tea and is a blend of RRL, alfalfa, nettle, and peppermint.

I bought it in bulk from Amazon.com. I also heard loose leaf was more potent, but I ended up getting tea bags so it was easier to take to work and carry in my purse. I plan on just drinking a lot of it! They had loose leaf too, though....reasonable prices and it was on my porch two days later, so I can't complain!

I got the Yogi brand in bags to keep at work. I got that at the whole foods store.

I also have a loose leaf mixture with RRL, Alfalfa, Nettle and Camomile. Its not the Mama's brand, but that sounds good too. With the loose leaf, you really dont need much to make a strong tea. I generally use two spoonfuls in a mason jar of hot water. Then I add more water to make an iced tea. A little goes a long way, but the joy is you can make it to taste.

I got a huge bag of loose tea from my local health food store, for about $1.50.  My MW has had me drinking it once daily my whole pregnancy, so it would get expensive fast if I got bags.

My MWs said it *had* to be loose leaf, so I bought it online through amazon (although I think the actual company was Frontier Herbs).  It was about $8/lb, which is really cheap and a pound is A LOT of tea...

I drink it at home and at work (MW instructed 2-3+ cups/day during third tri).  At home I have a teapot with a net insert for loose leaf tea, which is really handy.  At work, I just use one of those hinged loose leaf tea holders* to make an individual serving - super easy.

I think I bought the Yoga brand from a local health/vitamin store. It was packaged into bags and my doula said it would be fine.  I started drinking a cup a day at 37 weeks.  I like tea so I thought it was pretty good.
