Balzac’s is a cafe that stocks MF in Southern Ontario. Apparently, you can call them up and ask them to make a special order on your behalf. However, I called once, spoke to someone, got assurances that they would order some Fuji-Yama for me, and never heard back.

Boo. I had a similar experience at a French patisserie in Vancouver (Faubourg). They do however have about eight different varieties available for sale in-store, for about $30/100g tin.

I can’t find any MF on the house of tea site, I guess you have to know what you’re looking for!

Everything is sold out on CC site.

Thanks for sleuthing!

MissB said

Oh, many of House of Tea’s teas are MF; just ask them, or translate the French names into English. So 4 Fruits Rouges is Four Red Fruits, for example.

Odd about The Cultured Cup; I see a lot not currently available, but there’s still some you can buy (like Esprit de Noel, which is lovely).

I guess “everything” is an exaggeration, I meant the ones I’m interested in :)

Be careful with CC, I’ve stopped buying any of their teas when they raised their shipping to 7$ for just one 50 gram order.

MissB said

Ooh, good to know SFTGFOP. Thanks!

You can get a few of them at Williams Sonoma. I saw maybe 3 kinds in there last weekend.

WS also has a few Fortum and Mason teas on their webiste.

MzPriss said

They also had 3-4 Steven Smith choices in the Barton Creek mall store.

Dustin said

I didn’t realize/remember they had a store there. The things you miss when you try to get in and out of a mall as fast as possible!

It’s on the lower level close to Nordstrom’s – on the left if you’re facing Nordstrom’s.

A Southern Season in Chapel Hill, NC and in Charleston, SC carry a number of their teas. They will ship fairly reasonably to you!

kristinalee said

Oh really? I live near there… WOW, to get good tea without enormous shipping costs. Hm… I’ll be there later this week. I’ll have to check them out in person.

ashmanra said

They also have Harney and Sons in loose leaf and Bellocq. Their own tea isn’t bad,
Especially some from the Fine Tea wall. They will you as little as one ounce and many of the teas are truly fine.

I’ve been wondering about their tea for a while too. It’s very, very inexpensive, and I just had no idea what it would be like. I have seen it before, though, and a lot of it looks pretty good.
