This is a real favourite. In Australia it’s probably the cheapest quality tea you can get, which makes sense, because our customs requirements are massive and would add to the cost of any tea.
It’s a reddish-brown colour, both in dry form and when made. It exhibits a mildly spicy touch on the tongue, with very earthy undertones – it always vaguely reminds me of rich tropical soil.
If I’m eating beef or a strong curry, this is often my tea of choice, On this occasion, however, a big mug upon waking is going down a treat.
A quick shower and then another cup, I think!
