    How did you get your post before mine?! More quick work!

    Somehow I'm fairly certain it'll all fall (hopefully not literally when the packers are in) into place.

    Couldn't agree more!! I've always found it hard to find decent tea whenever we've been. OH's sister in Taupo always has Twinings now, which works for us, but the family don't drink as much tea as we do (and she only ever has small boxes of the stuff).

    Will watch the thread with interest.

    Incidentally, your whole experience and updates etc been great to follow and I can't believe how fast you're all managing to turn things round. It's pretty motivating too, although we aren't going anywhere for a while. Hope it all goes smoothly for the rest of your time in the UK.

    the main difference I've found with the teabags is that they don't stew as quickly...

    also I've only found one (affordable) brand of decaff teabags so far *sigh*

    Can you get Dilmar's in NZ? Use to drink this in Aus when I was there and I like a good strong cuppa.
