My one caveat is that I wouldn't trust the quality of any you find that way. It probably won't kill you, but it might not taste very good.

At the one around here the closest thing you'll find is some run-of-the-mill Lipton. Silly question, but I have to ask: They have tea in tins in dollar stores?

If you've got a couple friends you know are big tea drinkers and use brands that come in pretty tins, ask them to pass the tins on to you. Spread the word at work, your book club or the gym. Also, do not shun dollar stores for this project. I've always thought this was a lovely idea for a relatively informal, low-key kind of wedding.
