Pu-Erh in Toronto area

[Creezy]

Hello all,

Im new here and was hoping to get some help. I live somewhat close to Toronto and with the massive chinese population in the GTA I figured Pu-Erh would be plentiful but so far have found only one store that sells anything besides the standard entry level fishy loose shu every tea store seems to carry and fruit-laced weightloss miracle blends. Any fellow ontarians or travellers stumble across anywhere that carries decent beengs or am I forever stuck dealing with Canada Post?
Thanks!

Camellia Sinensis is an outfit in Montreal that has some cakes, but nothing very recognizable.

The Chinese Tea Shop out of Vancouver has a number of factory cakes, but not the greatest of happiness with quality.

The Best Tea House out of Vancouver has good tea, but very expensive.

05tea also has some expensive branded tea.

There was an outfit out of Toronto that had a late 80s 7542. That became known as the Canada cake. I forgot the name though.

Maybe Sampan Tea (selling off of eBay)?

I'm in Toronto and am currently shoveling around my collection. If you want to brew some tea up together I can show you around to several vendors and my own stash.
