So, how the hell am I supposed to unlock this damn engineer when the station only had 35 of the damn item? Will it restock?
No Fujin Tea...

You have to make multiple trips. You can't buy more until you sell off what you bought first.
Well that's damn idiotic and no indication of this mechanic at all....
FDev didn't want to make it too easy for you. It didn't used to be that way. Before they changed it, you could simply wait about 15 minutes for a restock.
fujin tea is a rare item, rares are only sold in limited quantities otherwise they would not be rare. This has always been the case.
Rare production also depends on the system state, and who controls it - there is even the possibility that a rare item may not be available at all if the faction producing it does not control the station or system.

I didn't have to do this with the cigars, just because they are unique doesn't mean they are rare, there still could have been a much better indicator, have regular damn stock in the station but limit the purchase, I would have instantly understood what was going on, yet with the fact there is literally ONLY 35 to purchase, that just creates unneeded confusion imo.
That is because it is a rare commodity, it actually states that in the information on the right of the screen.
Just to clarify things however a list & explanation on rares:
List of Rare Commodities
Rare Commodities are unique Commodities that are exclusive to specific markets and only available in limited amounts. Unlike normal Commodities, they always rise in value the further away they are sold from their origin station, with their price peaking at 200 ly away. The availability or...

Boom states increase the supply. You can also ask someone to buy some and dump them for you to pick up.
35 would be bliss!... Today the staton is only restocking 9 units (and the bar-chart icon next to the available quantity (9) in Green, 'indicating a good supply!'!!!!
The sole station selling the tea is in 'Outbreak' state at the moment, would that be depressing the availability?
Six round trips required to top up Broo's Brews at this rate!!!!!.

no fudgein tea well thats just not on! 
Yes, it's terrible when a game has multiple mechanics to learn - when will fdev give it to our demand to make the game a mile wide and an inch deep!*
* may not be posters actual demands
Lol, welcome to Elite Dangerous my friend.
There’s lots more where this came from...

Sorry, bought all the Fujin tea. I can give it to you, but it will cost you ... nothing actually.
As others have already stated, rare items are ... rare. 35t is actually a high allocation. Rares won't restock as long as you have them in your hold. Trading them used to make good money, the farther away the better the profit. There are routes available cycling through different rares, taking only the ones close to the star and in boom (= more allocation). http://zoy.rf.gd is one of the daily updated ones.
But the currently you get rich effortless anyway, so people sometimes get confused when something does not come automatically by logging in. Yes, there are alternatives to flying more rounds, but they do require cooperation. Back in the days, when everything was harder (cut back your jokes about blue pills) and better (especially the future!), and you only got about 4 tons each, a tradition called teabagging was born, to safe the galaxy (ok, just the human population) from the cerberus plague. It is best done with others, but you can do it on your own or nowadays even with your own carrier. There may be also a group specializing in this, a hint may be hidden in my signature.

It's one of the dumbest mechanics in the game. If they need 50 Units, the buy location only has 24 on hand, so you actually (usually) have to make 3 trips! 24+24=48+2 more! Ridiculous stuff.

Could there be some reason for this?
I mean, it's not as if the item is rare at all... Hmm....
