I'm a bit fussy about tea and struggle to drink anything except Sainsburys Red Label!

We are off to Gold Coast in 7 weeks time and I wondered whether it was worth bringing some with me (on the plane, not in shipped container). I know that you have to declare it when you go through customs so what I was wondering is;

Is it worth bringing?
Will they allow it in?
Will they charge me import duties on it?

If I can bring a couple of 400 bag packets with me than it might last till we get our first visitors next year! Sad I know,but you have to have some creature comforts in life!

Thanks

I don't know about bringing it with you, but I am also fussy with my tea. The only one I will drink over here is Twinnings English Breakfast tea, not cheap but worth it for a good cuppa.

Yup, tea is definitely different (blend etc) - weaker. I have found that Dilmah extra strong is just about bearable, but I do force all guests to bring huge boxes of Clipper with them when they come over.

You can bring it, people can send it, and you can ship it if you like. Just make sure its declared and it'll be allowed in with no problems
