I’ve gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I’ve been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.

I bought a bag off amazon but after reading comments on there i want to stay away from tea grown in places with contaminated soils, but thats usually where tea seems to be grown
Some sellers will give you results of tests done on the tea. Others reassure you that, once you pay a certain amount for high quality tea from older tea bushes/trees, you can assume that the farmers treat the tea with care and have no need for harsh chemicals.
Be careful with the former, of expecting certifications though. Here is a succinct explanation of why that expectation can limit your tea selection, from Jeffery McIntosh, a tea youtuber. See point at 3:50.
