A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
 
I know I sound like an old fart, but isn't the tea here absolutely pants?

We have a cupboard full of half used boxes, before giving up and going on a british tea bag hunt. We have now tracked down a shop that sells PG Tips Pyramid tea bags! But horror of all horrors when we went to restock on Saturday, they had sold out. We have three bags left for a whole week, I know how sad, but there's nothing like a good cuppa! And Aussie tea is nothing like a good cuppa.

Has anyone found any PG Tips substitutes or any big stockists of PG Tips in Brisbane?

Parched of Ferny Hills!!!!

and Twinings is on sale everywhere- one of the UK's major exports even though it is only blended there.

Can't stand tea - but the missus couldn't get by without a decent cuppa - so she was very grateful to discover that they sell nice strong Yorkshire tea in the treat factory just down the road. :D

I'm not sure where you are but try this place:

http://www.theteacentre.com.au/

It was posted a few months ago and is a place on my list waiting to be visited.

They do both strong English Breakfast and a slightly stonger Irish Breakfast.

We like Dilmah, which we reckon is as strong as Yorkshire Tea. Definitely in the "decent" bracket.

I actually don't mind Dilmah at all, or Liptons. -But being from Yorkshire I can make fantastic tea out of any tea bag :cool:
