All I want is plain, ordinary green tea like we drank in the Tokyo office. Finally, I found a site, Canadian flag in the left upper corner, with basic green tea, not matcha, no flower petals added. I'm not linking because that flag is, erm, inaccurate. Looking further, the phone numbers are all in Colorado. Sure enough, an American wellness company, not Canadian.

Just flying the right flag is not enough. We need to be alert good old American misinformation, often hidden in an obscure corner.

Anyone know a Canadian source of run of the mill, not too bitter loose leaf green tea, Japanese rather than Chinese? There's quite a difference between the two.

Oh well, I couldn't find online stores with all the hokusan products, but I found this other store that specializes in Japanese tea and seems based in Montreal:

Thank you! It's got exactly the kind of thing I have been searching for! May your (kitchen) drawers never give you grief and may you always be able to find that little silver nubbly thing that rolls under the couch!

Honestly, the silver lining with all this bullshit is I've been finding local products of a much much higher quality.
Like I haven't found a replacement for everything just yet... but most things I've replaced are so much better I will never be going back.
