Australian Billy Tea

Australian Billy Tea is a black tea blend of Australian-grown black tea, native peppermint gum and lemon-scented gum leaves, with a little smoky lapsang souchong. Seven Seas Tea calls it robust, smoky and eucalyptus-inspired, and names it for the billy, the can boiled over a campfire.

To brew, the maker suggests 1 teaspoon per cup in freshly boiled water for 3 to 4 minutes, with a dash of milk if you like. It says a 100 g pack makes around 40 cups. This is the smoky one in the range. For a plainer black tea, look at Organic English Breakfast, a blend of Indian black teas, or Bon Voyage, an Earl Grey style with cornflower, rose and calendula petals.

Hand-blended by Seven Seas Tea in the Margaret River region, from its tea shop on Bussell Highway in Cowaramup.
