Re: A decent cup of Tea, How English!!!
Can't even say I've even noticed.
Friends of ours who were born bona fide Tesco/3 bed semi floating floor/Sunday yorkshire pud/Laura Ashley Brits seem happy with what they can buy in Australia. The mother practically salivates when you mention a cuppa, and gets a glint in her eye - boy oh boy - when you offer a refill.
I was trying to find the advert from the late 80s which said:
Always make sure the urn is warm...
Always use freshly drawn water..
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.

I always drank Twinnings Breakfast Tea back in the UK. Because it is so expensive here I tried loads of different ones, which were disgusting, then I tried Bushells, which I found to be the best by far.

For those in Vic, there are great tea shops in Yarra Glen and in Warrandyte. I reckon Dilmah is the way to go, but try ALDI too...don't laugh, they have had Marmite recently (relabelled as Our Mate) at a very reasonable price.

I drink Fortnum and Mason tea! Which you can get from David Jones. Lovely.
Coffee all tastes the same to me. Just varying degrees of strength.
