Osulloc Teas?
Okay, so I need some help here. My friend made the mistake of bringing me Osulloc’s Wedding Green tea the last time she was in Korea, and needless to say, I’m pretty addicted. Unfortunately, I live in a fairly rural area, which precludes even the potential for Korean markets or the like unless I want to take quite a drive. That leaves online shopping as my only outlet. The main Osulloc website is, to my complete lack of surprise, in Korean, which I have no handle on whatsoever. I found a couple of borderline questionable websites selling their teas at exorbitant prices after a bit of digging; I even trawled around on ebay, but the overpriced song is the same. I noticed that someone created a topic regarding Osulloc teas a couple of years back, but I’m hoping the information is dated, and that my fellow Steepsters may have found some loopholes since it was posted. So, advice? Any way I might be able to quench my Osulloc-needs without also burning up an entire paycheck?
I’d like to know the answer to that too. The site itself doesn’t ship to the US :( but quick google showed this ebay person as having little mark up (less than twice the korean price). And since they are located in Korea, you might be able to special order whatever.

This person has a loose leaf version of the wedding tea. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/251447720700?lpid=82
Keep in mind Osulloc is expensive even when you are in Korea buying tea at their farm. Between $15 and $30 USD for most of the single teas.
I haven’t really found much before when I’ve looked, so would be curious what others have found.
Ah, boo. I was hoping that they might ship stateside, and I just couldn’t read it. Pity. Ah, I saw that first seller, but I completely missed the second saying they had the Wedding Tea for some reason. Thanks so much! Not sure if I’m prepared to spend almost fifty bucks on ~1.5 ounces of tea. Maybe with the next paycheck. I still have a couple bags left, so that might tide me over for a time. Here’s hoping there’s an alternative that someone can bring to our attention.
Also saw that site, but I’ve never heard of it before, so I was a little leery. Has anyone ever purchased from there? I couldn’t find any reviews for it, and WoT doesn’t have a score for it.
