You could try http://www.takateagarden.com.au/profile.htm They specialise
in Japanese teas, but also have a wide range of other type of teas in their
shop. Their silver needles and oriental beauty oolongs are nice. The
sellers there seem to love their teas and know a lot about them. They are
based in Sydney.
