I'm returning to Korea. I remember there being a deficit of black tea available. I'd like to bring my favorite loose tea. Does anyone know if I'll have any problem getting it through customs?

You can find black tea in Korea. I could direct you to some. I bought some from this Uzbek (Central Asian store) in Seoul. I could tell you where to find it. I don't think you would have a problem bringing tea, in my opinion. My mum sent me loose green tea in the mail before. It was this kind of green tea that I like that's from China. Is your tea in a box?

Since I won't be in Seoul I'd rather bring my own. It's in bags but it has the name of the tea and where I buy it from. You could send me the directions to the place in Seoul cause my boyfriend will probably go there and could check it out for me.
Thank you both for your replies.
Margaret
