Tea seed oil?

Do any of the vendors here sell it?

Not Tea Tree Oil,(melaleuca oil) which is totally different and made from a tree in Australia.

Tea seed oil is made from the seeds of various Camelia plants, including our beloved Sinensis and is used for cooking in China and has a rather high smoke point. Also good for salads, etc

I just saw a post about that on DavidsTea’s facebook page, but I have yet to find it for sale.

I have found Camelia oil sold online as a beauty product (as a hair oil mainly), I know of its use in cooking too, but have not seen that quality sold.
