    I've just made a batch of vanilla & jasmine dragon ball tea and it is smelling incredible!

    Tomorrow morning with be Japanese Dew Tea (of course after my first mug of plunger coffee).
    Mmmm, they sound devine, although whats a dragon ball? (I imagine it's tea compressed into a ball?)

    yep it is - they unroll as they seep, these ones are about the size of a pea. I've just finished the pot. I've also had the flower blooms which look incredible in the glass teapot.

    Another fave of mine is the Arthritis Blend that Eumundi Tea does - have a friend who is an amputee (lost hand as a child) and that was about the only thing that would take the dull ache away from his "hand" in winter.

    I seriously need to head back up there and do a stock-up of teas, now that I hear my x isn't anywhere up there (or won't be shortly) I can safely come up there (and visit Armeh) without looking over my shoulder in fear.

    Does anyone know of a nice place to get some yummy teas in Sydney?

    brontide - I love cardamom in coffee too. Also, totally OT, but I love to tie a few pods in some thin fabric and pop it in your undie drawer, makes everything smell spicy and good.
    lil - I drink rooibos with soy milk and honey. My sis gave me a rooibos chai blend from Byron, it's divine. I tend to just drink it when she's here though, don't know why.

    I forgot to add Turkish Apple tea - drank ridiculous amounts of it while travelling in Turkey, then was thrilled to find it back here.
    I have three teapots. And one tea cosy.

    Kellie, try the tea centre. I think there is one on Rhodes and there is one in the city. They have a website and ship.
    Jaspers also sell free trade tea online.

    I've got about 3 different Rooibos blends - 2 of which are great as iced teas in summer

    I went and pulled all my teas out of the cupboard before and not including the tea-bags types (incl those teabags from T2) I have 6 different types of "loose leaf" and "exotic" teas - which means I have about 15 different types of tea in this place. Hmmm and winter is the perfect "drink tea at night" weather!

    Mmm, snugglybean you reminded me of a tea I had at a friends place, some sort of mint tea. I think it's a middle eastern tea too, it was so yum. I didn't ask her how to make it though.....

    Brontide, Rhodes, is that where Ikea is?

    Kellie, yep that's it but I'm not sure if it's still there. I haven't been there in about 6 months.

    Snuggly, we have a Turkish cafe nearby - DH is addicted to their apple tea.
