You don't say where in Austria you are. If in Vienna, you should have
a look at Artee in Siebensterngasse (Spittelberg area). They also do
mail order. (Best to call them on the phone and ask for recommendations,
their website http://www.artee.at/ is neither up to date nor complete.)

Otherwise you might as well order from Gray&Seddon
http://www.gray-seddon-tea.com/
(Expect to pay 20% customs and tax on every other shipment on average.)
