Where do y'all get your herbs for loose leaf teas?

Personally, I like to make my own tea blends for various occasions, illnesses and flavors. I've heard of Cavazos, but I have yet to visit them unfortunately. The more I learn about plants and how to balance a good cup of leaf water, the more I wanna experiment.

Also, could any of you tell me where to get a nice wooden bowl? I'd rather buy from a local shop than order one online.
