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,

Re: What's the best Aussie Tea?
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.
