Last year, after searching for a month, I found a local source for GIANT PEACH bottled tea by Tazo. They were ordering them in just for me at first, then they started stocking them. I was buying 1 to 2 cases a month for the last 12 months. Now, today, all are gone and they can no longer get them (or so I was told by the manager), and all the other places that carry the Tazo bottled teas only have the standard "GREEN TEA" or another flavor. Giant peach and Brambleberry are the only two flavors in the Tazo bottled tea series that I like and I would like to find a reliable source in one of the following Southern California cities (in the order of preference): Downey, Bellflower, Norwalk, Cerritos, Paramount. I approached 6 Starbucks about special ordering them for me, but I learned that they have an "approved item" list, and if the specific item is not on the list, they cannot order it. Giant Peach is not on the list in the Downey/Paramount/Bellflower area. I also approached several grocery chains in my area that are listed on the Tazo website as "distributors", and was given various excuses that basically amounted to "we can't help you, go away". I was buying 1 to 2 cases per month via "special order". I would even be happy with a local place that keeps a few on the shelf where I could pick up 3 or 4 bottles a week. I can order them from another state, but with shipping it works out to around $5 per bottle. This will be my last resort if I cannot find a local source. It is absolutely baffling that these two particular Tazo flavors are so hard to find. They should be in every major store listed as a distributor... but I digress... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!... Read More »
