Here's a store in Olympia, Washington that ships to the UK. They sell bulk flowers and bark. http://www.1stchineseherbs.com/
I've read that the flowers are the best part. Perhaps, a mixture would be good.
I couldn't find any complaints about 1st Chinese Herbs and the site looks kosher so I will probably order a pound of the bark and pound of the flowers. I'll test the waters and let you know whether I have any problems with this vendor.
Even though I've already ordered the powder and Tierra extract elsewhere, I'd like to experiment with the bulk flowers and bark. In the end, that could be the most affordable way to prepare it. I'm putting the cart before the horse - but that's the usual way I travel.
Another online store offers albizzia only in what's called the "Ant" formula. It is very popular and the rage in the bigger cities in China among young people. Also popular at workout gyms. I came across this "ant" formula at a few places - must be an ancient recipe.
