I have used this tea for years for health reasons and it has always been available from local health food stores and grocery markets. For the last few months it has been unavailable locally and no one seems to know why. I was delighted to find it online at a reasonable price! iHerb was excellent to deal with: it was simple to order, pay online, and very fast shipping. Now that I have a source for my tea I look forward to ordering from iHerb in the future.
