In search of the holy grail of teas (imo anyway) : IMPRA Gold

So... I have been reading posts made by fellow Montrealers concerning russian/german/polish/romanian/ etc grocery stores and took note of all the numbers.

I also referred to this site : http://www.russianpagesallmontreal.com

Every single store I called was EXTREMELY rude and not helpful what so ever

Please, can someone help me find IMPRA Gold tea?!?!??

I would be forever grateful!!!!

    Ever thought about contacting them via their US website? They might be able to tell you where it can be found in Canada.

      According to that web site, it's available at Wal-Mart.

        Unfortunately their website does say Canadian Wal-Marts carry IMPRA products. I shuddered at the thought of walking into one-- But I did anyways since I've been searching for this for such a long time.

        I went to 3 different Wal-Marts and found absolutely no IMPRA products.

        I even wrote to IMPRA, with no response.

        Hmmmm! What luck I have....

      I assume you try La Vieille Europe or one of the east-european stores on St-laurent blvd ? or the east-european store at Jean-Talon Market. ?

      If you cannot find it, you could find an equivalent tea at one of many tea stores (davids, kusmi, Camellia Sinensis, ... )

        @Maximilien

        Thank you very much for the suggestions... I believe I called that store today, (and *at least* 20 other ones)... I am just so put off the way they treat a potential customer over the telephone. It's quite sad. It makes me think twice of going in-person. But I have been searching for months so I might just go do that.
