Re: at risk of sounding like a whingeing pom...
Wine, now you are talking real drinks. I couldn't live without my glass of wine while cooking dinner.
I really am more of a coffee drinker than a tea drinker though recently I have taken to a cup of Twinings at afternoon tea.
And I do winge (under my breath) when I am in Aus because thier coffee is c*ap

I am cutting wine out completely for a few weeks, as im on a diet after a long weekend with girlfriends 
so it will be diet tonic water and slice of lemon from my lemon tree.... I want a glass of wine

I much prefer the coffee back here in Wellington. Good to be home 
I understand about tea. I can't help though as I drink dilmar.
I don't particularly like Dilmar but it serves its purpose (I'm a 2-3 cup a time guzzler so quite frankly if I paid for expensive teas they would run out every few days!).
Try [T Leaf Tea|https://www.tleaft.co.nz]. Maybe not practical if you drink lots, but as a special drink perhaps it's ok for ya!

Re: at risk of sounding like a whingeing pom...
well, thanks all!!
OH came home this morning bearing UK twinings assam from bramptins (gulp at expense, but
agree zoglet NZ twinings nothing like UK blend) so i'm ok for a couple of weeks... i'll then try the Dilmah Ex Strong, and check out the Mount Eden place for loose for best!! (and some green - yum!)
Can't drink coffee cos it makes me ill (love the smell, love the taste, but it really doesn't like me!), can't drink alkyhol cos am pregnant, so a couple of mugs of good tea a day are my treat for the foreseeable.... so thanks all!
ps and Matewx... cheeky monkey - last time i vote for you in anything!! ;-)

Why spoil your thirst with tea when you could have a nice glass of wine? 
Also as long as you keep drinking it regularly wine makes you happy (a feeling many miserable expats will not be familiar with ), tea just makes you realise why wine is superior to hot water and milk.

You know it is possible to have tea AND wine - if you structure your day right!

A few cups and you're ready to start on the wine again. An ideal combination
