Default Seeking "Choicest" Kao Shan Tea

Hi,

A friend of mine brought in some tea in a
long-ish foil-ish wrap (green, with pictures
of trees and birds). The only english words
are "Choicest" Kao Shan Tea. I can't find this
anywhere in Toronto or Ottawa (Canada).
Supposedly a product of Taiwan, and a guessed
to be a combination of jasmine and green tea.
Very nice. Would anyone know of a place in
or near Toronto or Ottawa where this can be
gotten? I blew over 10 bucks on a cylinder
of Kao Shan tea in a local store, but it wasn't
the same, and most of it went into the garbage.
Now I only trust a package identical to that
described above (top).

Thanks.

Fred

Lewis, Ripon,

I am not sure that it is s jasmine tea. I think
that was someone's guess, and it made sense
because it is floral scented.

I'm not 100% sure it's from Taiwan, but pretty sure.
A few people mentioned that, but it wasn't clear to
me if it was a guess, from personal knowledge, or
if it actually says so on the package. However,
the person who brought it in got it sent from his
Mom, who lives in Taiwan.

Fred
