Know what you mean ...

There's a shop in the city, which just sells tea. Can't remember what it's called though.

Trouble is real tea is getting much harder to get around here, 1/2 an aisle for tea/coffee with about 1/2 metre of one shelf for tea leaves .

Been importing tea from Qld lately (must import more or find a local supplier).

Here's the reason why...

Don't worry, I'm the same.
If I can't have a real coffee, it's tea.

Love a chai, and it has to be made properly. Have a couple of favourites ATM, all loose leaf as they should be.
Toby's make a good one as does Byron Bay Chai (i think that's the name ? ) T2 has too much cardamom in their loose leaf version for my liking.

We've been drinking a lot of herbal brews by a herbalist from down the valley, made from weeds out of the local paddocks and creeks. Place the dried weeds in the plunger, add boiling water and let it brew for five to ten minutes.

Just sold a house so I could afford to repair my single group espresso machine.

Fortunately coffee making has not been adversely affected by the change in altitude.

lol, a relative just got a quote to fix their Saecco machine-thingy, $750 (for an - er - leaky something or other...)

I'm coffee - love waking up, going to my cafe and getting a nice cappuccino - squeezed in between Slickos with his Mosmanite chrome-vented Range Rover Sport , and Suzie Soccer Mum with her 08 BMW X5 (always with dents on the rear - ON TOP OF THE PARKING SENSORS ). But I like my coffee

This thread could have been called " Fusion on Infusion"

Oh, completely forgotten about one of them, have it sitting in the new shed, picked it up for nothing, fixed it, gave it a clean used it for couple of cups of coffee and the kids pressed too many buttons too many times and it's been sitting waiting for attention ever since.

The other one is a single group Boema that needs a new element and a new skin.

Since getting a Saeco unit at home, our coffee consumption has gone through the roof.


Won't touch instant,.......... and even plunger tastes nasty in comparison now.
