The Tea Centre sells two loose leaf teas that are made from Australian tea – Australian Daintree and Australian Sencha.
We decided to taste test the Australian Daintree. It’s a pleasant mild tea which has an earthy taste. Although it is a black tea it brews to a reddish brown shade.
The tea can be taken with or without milk, or used to make iced tea. Some chefs even use it as an additive for smoking their fish and meat!
The tea is grown on the Cubbagudta (means rainy place) plantation, which is located in Northern Queensland, just north of Port Douglas. The tea is grown along the fringes of the Daintree rainforest. I was pleased to hear that the plantation does not use pesticides and so the tea contains no pesticide residues or tannic acid.
The plantation is a family owned and operated business and features in the AUSBUY guide as 100% Australian.
Don’t forget to add your tea leaves to compost as they make a great fertilizer.
A great every day tea that’s Aussie made.
