Pu Erh: Where??

damselnat

Anyone know if there's anywhere I can get Pu Erh tea in leaves? I used to love it, not so keen on the tea bags, too weak for my taste. I live in Dublin most of the time but not sure where I can get it here, or if I even can; any ideas? I used to stock up on it when I was in Athlone, a health food shop there did the loose leaves, but the last few times I've been in they haven't had, I assume they've stopped doing it:( But surely, surely somewhere in Dublin does it???

Hey there.

I know Robot Robot does teabags and Ive got them in Dunnes before - have not seen tea leaves in the supermarket though. Surely one of the health food or chinese shops would stock it though?

Hi.
I get mine from House of Tea. They have several varieties. I get the King of Pu-Erh. I order online, but they have a shop in the CHQ building in town.

There is a crowd in Galway, Solaris Botanicals, who do really lovely Organic single estate high quality loose teas at prices equal to their inferior rivals. They come in attractive cardboard cylinders as well. They also do herbal teas.
They have and excellent Pu-Erh (130g-€4.95) and 2 diff. King of PuErh (100g-€7.95 & 175g €13.95).
In Dublin they are stocked in:
The Organic Supermarket, Blackrock, Co.Dublin
The Health Store, Dundrum, Sandyford, Co.Dublin
Heaven and Earth Day Spa, Dun Laoghaire, Co.Dublin

But they do mail order as well from their website:

I especially like their jasmine green tea dragon pearls.
