Re: A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
I find Tetleys really strong here. We use Liptons or Bushells both really good.

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!!!! In fact, the brands you get Down Under are mostly the same brands you get in the UK. So when you say "Aussie tea is pants", are you referring to... Tetley? (Originally English; now owned by India's TaTa group) Twinings? (English) Dilmah? (Sri Lankan) Lipton? (Originally Scottish; now owned by Unilever) These are the most common brands of tea in Australia, but none of them are Australian. |

G The tea is made for a different market and for a different taste in the market sector. That's common practice in marketing. |
Re: A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
we too have been through every brand most are cack, if your into loose tea then T2 is very good and they do a lovely Earl Grey :thumbup:
www.t2tea.com.au best i've found in the supermarket is Lan Choo and the tetleys extra strong. |
Re: A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
I don't drink breakfast tea (is that black tea?) but I've seen Yorkshire Tea in Coles here in Sydney.
I get most of my flavoured teas from T2. :thumbup: |
Re: A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
Hutch I was at Berry on Sunday but they didnt have any... might have to move near coles in sydney as nowra coles didnt have it either.
As much as people poo poo these small comforts - i think they do make a difference into settling in when the homesickness starts. All i need to do is find my baccy and I will be fine! But I dont that is ever going to happen! |

It's better than anything I've had in the UK. |
Re: A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
Yorkshire Tea (including Tetley) is rubbish everywhere. I can't take anyone seriously who says the tea is rubbish and then mentions Tetley as their favourite tipple. :p It's like a Carling drinker saying Aussie beer is shite when they've only tried VB :rolleyes:
Dilma Extra Strong - Square Bags. May even be, better than PG. ;):D |

My wife aerates the water by pouring from a great height and ensures the water has stopped boiling completely, then places a little lid over the cup to brew. The lid then receives the teabag so it can dry before being discarded. She's not even a Pom. |
