Little late to the punch on this one, but have you tried the Asian grocer on Queen St by the sobeys and GreenLyph Computers? Their tea section is massive, top of the stairs turn left, past the cash and its a room pretty much dedicated to tea.

Not too late, will check it out. Thanks!

you can also try sawadee tea house:
1871 Granville Street
Halifax, NS, Canada
(902) 422-4192

If they don't have it in stock, she can likely order it in for you.

I work right across the street from sawadee, i'll check it out.

had some matcha with my brother, but he might've gotten it somewhere on the south shore. I'll ask and get back if you still haven't found any.

Expensive shit but I pulled the trigger because the ice cream looked so good and i've got a big enough stock pile of strawberry and maple ice cream in the freezer that will satisfy the desires of my guests. I'm willing so share though, theres probibly enough for 6 batches of ice cream (maybe?) but i'll let you know how much i use when i make a batch this weekend.

Christ, they marked that up good. I like to buy local, but that's a little too steep for me:

Might be crap, so save me a few teaspoons Andrew, lol.

[andrewtrsmith]

haha no worries X. I don't mind spending the money on that Tea, the people at Sawadee have treated me well and i've probibly had $25 worth of free tea there so far this year.

We'll have to make up some using each and compare.

I was just into the HSC for the first time in months, and noticed Daves Teas (or something like that) on the top floor. They have matcha in bulk, two kinds at around $29 and $33 per 100g.

well i got hosed

Eh, hardly matters, we all do sometime. We can drown your sorrows with super-tasty artery-clogging gut-busting green tea ice cream.

The ice-cream is go.

Made it last week. Tasty, but next time, another tablespoon matcha.
