Heaps of teas available in the supermarkets, and also in specialist shops. Check out the Asian stores for stuff like Lapsang Suchong or the Roibus (red teas). Many boutique stores here sell fruit teas and I've even seen them in supermarkets.

We're also big tea drinkers and we like it strong. We buy "Twinings 1706 - Tasting Tea (Strong)" for a daily brew - lovely and strong.

I also love green teas which are readily available here too.

No problems on the tea front

I haven't managed to find any Lapsang Suchong here yet....got my mum to bring some in the end. Maybe I have been looking in the wrong places
I'm also partial to Roibos Tea, and quite like the Red Bush variety over here, plus the Snake bite Liquorish Tea too.

With all the high brow names I'm going to have to admit I find the Home Brand cheapo variety very acceptable. Sometimes I feel so inadequate!

I'm very tempted to send you OH's current pack which isn't being used but is stinking out the kitchen - can't stand the stuff myself.

Hmmm, trying to think where we bought it....

EDIT: Remembered - it was the health shop in Lyttleton!

Where do you buy 'Yorkshire Tea' from here? I want some now!!

There a kitchen/household shop near to the entrance/exit of Bayfair (think it was Bayfair!!), they sometimes have boxes of Yorkshire Gold, at the back of the shop, not cheap thou!
