Usually in Chinatown, Vancouver. I also buy 3-for-$20 Hong Kong DVD's, for
that matter. Chinatown here is not where the best Chinese teas in town are
to be had, though. It's more for everyday tea. There are shops in
Richmond, and other areas of Chinese concentration which carry much higher
grade stuff. I once bought some sow-mei that was $17CAD for 100 grams at a
place just outside an Asian supermarket, and it was heavenly. It's not
really a steep price, but more than you can pay in Chinatown, at least any
place I've seen.
