looking for retailer of Metropolitan Tea Co.

Jul 06, 2003 5 Replies

I've cleaned out my local retailer of my favorite Irish breakfast tea. So far they've done nothing to replenish stock of this blend from Metropolitan tea. co..


Are there any Canadian base retailers that will do on-line/mail order of Metropolitan Tea in the 500g or 2 kg loose leaf packs?



Thanks, Matt .


Metropolitan

Their wooden boxes marked "Sportsman" also contain the same Irish Breakfast blend.

Unless you live far away from a large city, Metropolitan Teas are very easy to find.

But if you need absolutly a mail order vendor, here what I found with Google:

and many more

You could also try asking the sales department of Metropolitan Tea for a list of local vendors.

Thanks for the response. I'm in the Calgary area and have already been in touch with metrotea sales by email, They provided me with my local retailer (sold-out) and.a restaurant in Red Deer (too far).

Neither of the on-line vendors you provided appear to sell the Irish Breakfast (or Sportsman) blend by weight.

I know the tea is sold by 500g and 2kg pack by Metropolitan Tea co. Ideally, that is what I'm looking for.

Those bulk packs are only sold to retailers. But if you are willing to pay a

5 or 6$ surcharge, you could order some to a residential address. Metropolitan Tea doesn't have to know you do not own a store. ;-)

There is a tearoom in Unionville Ontario that sells Met teas. It is called the Curiosity Tea shop. They will probably mail tea anywhere in CA.

Metropolitan

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've found a couple of Tea shops in Calgary that will sell the tea by the pound. I've given up on my hometown supplier (Shefield Gourmet in Airdrie, Alberta) who would only sell it at 100g sample pack prices.
