Chinese Tea Candy
When I was in Elementary School (a looooong time ago), one of my teachers handed out tea candy for the Chinese New Year. It tasted like a cup of strong, well-sweetened black tea, the kind they serve at Chinese restaurants.
Since then, I have been searching for something similar. The search hasn't been constant, obviously, but every now and then I get such a craving for it!
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Do any of you know where I could find it, either online, or in NYC's Chinatown?
Thanks, Serious Eaters!

these are awesome. i like the green tea ones personally. theyre sweet but not like super sweet and a lil gritty (weird i know) but they have the most intense tea flavor.
i usually buy mine in chinese supermarkets in flushing.

I have no idea where to get them (I live in England) but I remember I once got some wonderful green tea & orange sweets from Whittards of Chelsea - it's a chain tea store.
