WOT - need a SanFernando Valley Shopping Contact, stuff we can't find in PA ... Options

[ArtechnikA]

tried contacting the people i know in the area directly, but got no responses...

there used to be an international foods market on the East side of Zelzah between Devonshire and San Fernando Mission Blvd. in Granada Hills (Granada Hills HS area).

we bought a particularly tasty flavor of Russian tea there, and our efforts at finding a local (or Internet) supplier have been less-than-successful because the package label is all in Cyrillic... and despite frugal rationing, we're just about out...

if there's someone in the North Hills / Granada Hills area who'd be willing to stop in and buy us a pound or so, and ship it, we can (reasonably) compensate you for your time.

somebody get back to me, and i'll post a scan of the label.

Give me as much info on the tea... Is it a market or restaurant?... Do they have waterpipes to toke on while you shop?

what (little) is left of the label is in the scanner - i'll fire it up in a few minutes and post the scan. it does have the importer's phone number, so we can try there too, of course. i'm sure that's why we kept this portion of the label ...

definitely a store. 'Azul' ? for some reason i'm remembering it's something like that. (it's at least 4 years since i was last there...) i'm remembering yellow lettering on the storefront signage. both of those are impressions and could be wrong, or the signage could be different now... it's at the left (north) end of the little strip mall. parking was a little weird. it did seem to be pretty continuously popular when i lived there. went to the Baker's Square from time to time, and banked at the Wells F&#@%ing Bank until they pissed me off and i took my business elsewhere.
