I have no interest in making sales for them any more and I don't think you can get their products in Kiwiland.

In the days gone by you could only buy tea leaves. You used to either place the tea leaves in a tea pot or use a silver spoon like device which contained the tea leaves to make a single cup of tea. Now days we have teabags which has made life much simpler.

I do not have a favourite brand. I usually buy whatever is on special at Pak n Save.

In fact all the supermarkets sell a range of loose leaf tea in packets, including Choysa.

Back in the olden days when there used to be traditional grocers shops, before supermarkets, then you could also buy tea from bulk. It was weighed out on scales, and put into brown paper bags.

Then doing a bit of Googling came up with a tea shop on TradeMe

1194275 2011-04-15 09:48:00 It is a great tea if you need it as a fire-starter. Your spinning stick doesn't have to twirl very fast at all to get those little tar crispies burning. As a drink they are a total failure, just like all those anglo/indian tanalising substitutes, except for deservedly punishing the Philistines that profess to enjoy the stuff. That sort of tea may be improved by a healthy jolt of condensed milk, molasses, lemons or in emergency milk or sugar may be used to camouflage the rather lamentable flavour. Real tea does not have any need for this stuff.
If youn prefer that weird dark tea, you should drink the stuff, and may your god have mercy on your innards. (Actually, drinking it is far less stressful than having it administered the way that it merits.)
