Beaut I thought, haven't had this for ages so bought a packet.
On opening the packet I spied the TATA logo, and I didn't know TATA also had TATA global beverages .

By now you should have realised almost all the good stuff we love has gone Tata... ( or at least bye bye overseas)

Yes it's sad isn't it. But we all let it happen. so we only have ourselves to blame

And why I have started leaking.

I have to say that while Tata may own Billy Tea, Tata have done wonders with the Land Rover marques after the debacles of British Leyland, Austin Rover, Ford and BMW. Defender aside, but even that after almost 60 years of the same body shape an end had to come.

I am not sure that the Billy Tea brand has ever been Australian owned. I suspect it is a brand that was introduced in Australia by one of the London based tea companies.

Billy Tea owned by Tata, I'd like to see that movie.....hmmmm, second thoughts, perhaps not.
