Hello, I'm wondering where to find specialty teas in the Tampa Bay area?
(I'm in Largo/Pinellas Park)

I'm looking for a gunpowder green tea brand called "Temple of Heaven".

Other than tea shops are there any oriental food stores in the area
which might have this?

Temple of Heaven is a fairly low-grade tea that is mostly sold to
Chinese people in the US. You won't find it in any tea store, but
you should have no problem finding it in Chinese grocery stores.

If you don't find a local supplier, I think that asiachi.com carries
the stuff. They want ten bucks for what my local oriental grocery
wants four bucks for, though. They aren't a bad resource for Chinese
food products that you can't find locally.

Thanks, Scott! I see they do indeed have it at that site:

I will look around and check the local Chinese stores first though.
