What's the best Aussie Tea?
 
We've used up all our stash from the UK and are having loads of trouble finding a replacement. We got some Ringtons sent from Norwich cos they are the best we've ever found. Suggestions please, :D

Tetley 'big cuppa'. Apparently not as good as English tea (husband says) but decent enough.

My OH thinks Tetley is the best he has tried Bushells said it was OK but prefered Tetley, Guess you wil just have to try both and see which you prefer, I can't help as I only drink Green T.

My 6yr old can't stop singing the Bushells song off the advert, and it tasts okay too, but to be honest i just buy Tetley.

Twinings English Breakfast. No idea of price cos I only use it when we've guests or I'm feeling ill but it's the best I've tasted over here.

Best tea at a reasonable price I have come across here is a brand called "Dilmah". Under $5 for 100 teabags and also available as loose tea.

It's a single origin ceylon tea and tastes damn good.

If you like good strong tea (the english way!!) then Dilmah extra strong is the way to go. There was a hotly debated thread on here a while back arguing whether Aussie tea was weaker etc etc. Can't remember the outcome, but I know I hold that opinion.
