Last week in Sydney, I was with a friend who shares my passion for the perfect holiday breakfast. Our contact in the city took us to the tiniest cafe imaginable on Liverpool St called The Bunker. There, we spent a happy hour enjoying all the key ingredients we were looking for:

A spot outside in the sun, check; good coffee, check (sorry tea lovers, I needed the caffeine and they looked so good); simple honest food, check; friendly service, check

Hi tea fans! We’re happy to announce the long-awaited arrival of our highest grade peppermint and rooibos to the website, alongside a beautiful Earl Grey and a luxurious Darjeeling. These teas may be familiar to you already and we have tried especially hard to find batches that excelled.

Also, we have recently received the final cut of Nuarts documentary of the Gandolfi Pop-up Bar which we were involved in a couple of months ago… enjoy!

We are delighted to be participating in the Hawks Christmas Fayre on Sunday where we will be launching some of our exciting new packaging!!

If like me, you’re finding the winter chill hard to keep at bay, this could be the perfect time to explore some of our heartier, warming teas… you could try a rich fruity golden tips, the sweet but strong large red robe, or, if you’re keeping an eye on the caffeine intake, how about a mellow, relaxing cup of aged tea?

Check out this site. It’s new and exciting and will give you an insight into the world of tea. It’s the start of a journey that will whet your appetite for some of the finest brews that Asia has to offer.
