Fellow EU residents/fellow Germans, where do you buy your teas (and tisanes)?

Question/Help

So I had a gander at the vendor list and as expected on Reddit it is fairly US-centric. While there are several shops listed that sell internationally from the country of tea origin, what I'm looking for is a Germany or other-EU-country based importer that I can order from so I don't have to deal with customs. It's fine if this means I pay more for the same tea, I just want a lazy option logistically.

If anyone here has recs for such online shops then please share them with me below. I'd also appreciate recs for a good source of (ideally organic certified) loose tisane herbs since the offerings at my local in-person shops are abysmal in both departments.

And on an unrelated note: How do those of you who don't have a multi-temp kettle get your water to the right non-boiling temperature for all your teas? That and our hard tap water are really bringing my tea game down atm. I wonder if I should invest in a Britta filter or similar product... But buying a whole new kettle when ours works fine seems a bit extra.
