    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.

    I wish I had a 'tea place' like this T2 nearby!! Do they have an online store at all??
    Unfortunately, due to the lack of anywhere to get 'specialist' teas from, I'm a 'regular' tea person. Traditional Afternoon all the way here, seeing as Woolworths doesn't seem to stock ANY Lapsang Souchong anymore (I was lucky enough to score a couple of boxes of Twining's brand LS last year, they've not had any on the shelves since).
    I am a big fan of chai though, I just bought some white chai teabags and am working my way through them speedily...
