Yorkshire Tea
I have just moved from Auckland to Wellington and I can't find Yorkshire Tea.
The Albany Pack n Save and the New World both sold it, but when I asked in Kilbernie at both Pack n Save and Countdown they had never heard of it.
I really don't want to have to pay the inflated prices of a specialist shop so, if anyone knows anywhere that I can get some at a reasonable price let me know.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Countdown do it online, $10.29 for 80 so if no one local does it maybe have a monthly shop delivered

Re: Yorkshire Tea
We are on our last box of Yorkshire Tea and dreading that last bag from the final box. There are some good alternatives around though, it may be worth trying a few until reinforcements arrive!

Re: Yorkshire Tea
I'm a fan of Tetley tea, and yes, I buy it at the inflated price the expat shops sell it at. Bell tea is ok. Dilmah English Breakfast tea is what I drink at work as I won't take my Tetley tea to work as I kinda hoard it because I can't be sure the expat shop will have it when I need it.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
I've definitely seen it in Wellington. Try New World at Chaffers first, they have a big international section, probably because they're close to the YHA. Failing that, get the train up to Petone, and try Pak n Save and Countdown, they're both near the station. Then go for a wander down Jackson Street and grab a coffee. There's also two UK stores on Jackson Street, but I've never been in them. If you come on a Saturday, you can get Percy Pigs from the Dutch store.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
My parents send me Assam & Yorkshire tea bags every so often. Otherwise I've found that Dilmah Extra Strong do the job

Re: Yorkshire Tea
The UK store (opposite the German bakery) in Petone sell Yorkshire Tea. It's on Jackson Street.
