1194277 2011-04-15 20:34:00 Btw has anyone seen tea in the loose leaf kind? Heard it's much cheaper, that you can get 1 pound of tea leaves for $5...

That is interesting, I thought tea only ever came in bags, just imagine, a mouth full of tea leaves, unthinkable.

1194278 2011-04-15 23:06:00 $10.50 for 100g loose leaf tea on trademe. This is a joke right? 1 pound(450g or so) costs like $5 online....


You want strong tea?
Homebrand Black Teabags,empty the contents of the teabags into a container(the contents resemble powdered tea)

Like strong tea with very little milk(half teaspoon)

Tastes like a Tea should

Home brand? Isnt that the brand by countdown/woolworths/etc?

$10.50 plus p & p you mean! Just look at where the shop is - Mt Eden. Nuff said.

Tea bags have taken away the ability of a fortune teller to read your fortune from the tea leaves left on your cups after you have had a drink of tea.

Most of the tea leaves used to sink to the bottom and there was a filter on the spout of the teapot to prevent most of the leaves going into your cup.

I didnt save the link, but i did find this : www.amazon.com

Shipping weight is 1 pound but im not sure how much of that is the leaves itself.

But it seems countdown has 250g of choysa looseleaf tea for like $3.

1194284 2011-04-16 00:39:00 Choysa tea is not my favourite. It doesn't have the flavour i like.

We drank Bushells leaf tea for years, but then it went off the NZ market. Sob. Dilmah leaf tea seems the best of what's left. It does seem to need to brew for a bit longer though, as someone said.

1194285 2011-04-16 00:42:00 I tried Twinings English Breakfast leaf tea for several months after going off Dilmah leaf tea. Dilmah leaf tea had started to have too much fine dust.

The Twinings was ok, but it too was variable, sometimes having a decent sized leaf, at other times being too fine and having a lot of dust that would just go straight through a fine tea strainer.

Decent loose leaf tea is becoming a thing of the past.

Typhoo Tips in the UK years ago was good, had a decent leaf size and it was certainly ok for telling fortunes :), and had no dust :)

Billy tea is the way to go. Especially when reheated over the camp fire. So strong you can stand the spoon up in it!!

If you don't like the crunchy bits as in leaves you could use a Bodum for filtering. It's what I use to make my Coffee.
