Do they have loose teas? A friend is looking for loose or bulk tea.

And can you give more info on how to find this place? Do you have a phone number?

Thanks.

Thanks for this info - I love the Asian markets in Vancouver and Richmond (where we come from) - the fresh foods, the beautiful dishware, the restaurants -

Do you know the name of this market? And where is Tibas? Is it a section of San Jose or a separate town? I would be going to SJ via the Camino del Sol.

 

I occasionally shop at Mercado Sony north of the National Theater. Is the Tibas store bigger/better than that one? I love to cook Asian food and would rally like to investigate this store.

 

Thanks for any info.

It's up the hill north of SJ, on beyond Cinco Esquinas.

 

You can see Tibás on that nice map that ARCR gives out.

Yes i bought oolong and green tea. it is in a brown paper bag with a plastic liner, it is very good. and im picky about my tea. The name on front iS ASIA. if you take off the Tibas exit from 32, follow road North , down in front of Mc Donalds to the dead end at the plaza, and take a left. and its 400 meters (1/2 mile) on the right side. and the gift shop is two more shops down on the right. let me find my receipts and i will get number. or i am going back tuesday and i will get it. Excellent place to buy items i was use to buying in US that i can ot buy here in Guapiles area. Frozen food is EXCELLENT

Hi, 6I tried to find a phone number in the ICE book, no luck, so I tried to find it on Google Maps, but still no luck, but did find the McD's.

If you could provide the phone, or directions from Google Maps, that would be great.

 

Tanks.

It's a wonderful store.

 

You'll be amazed at the stuff in there. Be sure to ask whether the 2nd floor is open, where there is furniture and other non-food items.

 

Hope we'll get a trip report fro you out of this!

Dana,

 

Hope they enjoy wandering around in that store as much as I do.

 

Tell them that they'd better take along an extra one of those cloth shopping bags when they go.

 

Cheers!
