Hi my name's Adam i'm from Australia i'm 19 years old.My first proper introduction to tea was when my friend made me proper black tea i loved it,i started out making black tea with tea bags (i still make it occasionally looking for a good loose leaf black tea) .Then got a teapot and bought english breakfast and Russian Caravan tea i make a pot once/twice a day its calming and relaxing its great!.

Looking to learn more about tea and when i get some money buy an Adagio Tea you ship to Australia?.

Cheers
Adam

Hello, Adam! Good to meet you.

Re: Adagio, I took a peek at their International Shipping page and for what it's worth, Australia is not listed. If I were you, I'd contact Adagio via their Contact Us webpage to ask what the situation is. They are usually very quick to respond.

Hello and Welcome!

What kind of tea stores do you have in Australia? What type of teas are commonly made there?

Welcome to TeaChat! I'm sure you'll be able to learn tons about black tea here. You might end up trying greens and oolongs as well, as the majority of our readers seem to drink them more than anything else!

Well, that's just not fair :cry:

I wonder if Adagio Europe will be more obliging?

Drat. They aren't.

Has Adagio given a reason for not shipping to Australia? It's not exactly a rogue state...

I haven't seen many tea stores although they would be out there,however the supermarkets seem better stocked for tea than american as we used to have tea as our national drink before gradually becoming a coffee drinking nation and our proximity to Asia and large Asian communities.We can get loose tea from a fair few different companies twinings dilmah etc etc.

There is a few small commercial teas that source their tea from Australian plantations and a fair few boutique tea places that have all sorts of different teas.Most of it is in queensland and (i think) Northern New South Wales.

The main teas in Australia are black and english breakfast in my experience.

Sounds like they've stuck to their British roots, much like a lot of Americans, I do believe.

And, Adagio Europe! I had no idea that existed!

Yes it was a copy of what the British did earlier in our history and as we gained an independent identity we moved towards drinking coffee.

I also forgot Earl Grey is pretty common too.....sticking to our pommy roots. :P

Welcome, Joel, 25 y/o, 15 miles outside of NYC, US here! Welcome to the wide world of tea.

My favorite Blacks are good Keemun, Yunnan Gold, and Assam. A good tea is hard to find, but well worth it. Not sure about Australian Vendors but they must be out there.
