South African food & beverages

Does anyone know where in the NYC area I could purchase the following South African products?

Amarula
Beef Biltong
Five Roses Tea Bags

My husband & I have just returned from a wonderful trip to SA and we are dying for some more "taste" of South Africa. We were unable to bring anything back with us and unfortunately we are having a hard time finding these products here in NYC.

Thanks!

If you're in NYC, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find Amarula in a better liquor store, if not a regular one.

Not sure about the other stuff. If there's a SA consulate in NYC you should contact them and ask.

I don't know if you have a Beverages & More store there - but I have found Amarula there.
I did a quick websearch about the biltong and Five Roses and found one on line store based in N.Carolina(The South African Food Shop) and one out here in California(AfricaHut).
Hope this helps.

Forgot to add - CostPlus/World Market carries Mrs. Ball's Chutney's, Nando's chicken spicy sauces & curry and Mango Pickle.

The South African Tourist Board has an office on 42nd and 5th. Maybe stop in and ask them.

I didn't get a chance to pick up any Amarula before I got to JNB last year and could buy at the duty free because I had to pass thru Heathrow. I was resigned to doing without until next year but last week I stopped in the duty free shop in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and there it was. Got 2 1L bottles.

Thanks for all your help. I found an internet site in Canada that sells the five roses flavors I wanted. I'm still working on finding Amarula, but to be honest I haven't had time to look that much. I bet the larger liquor store around here would have it. The websites you all posted have been terrific in helping my search. I'll be ordering some biltong very soon!
