Here are some things I like:
1. tea
2. buying local
This review isn't just a list of things I like. It's because Art of Tea has a wonderful range of loose leaf teas all blended here in Tasmania.
They can be found on a Saturday at the famed Salamanca Market, they can be found in numerous stores across the state, or they can be found out here at their warehouse and little office. It's a little way out of town but for the locals it can be a safer trek than braving the market (most of us leave that for the tourists).
If you're interested in tea and love the ritual of loose leaf, then definitely consider picking up a box (or two, or three, or half a dozen) of Art of Tea. I've enjoyed all the blends I've tried so far but particularly like the Tassie-focused blends like Mt Wellington blend, Salamanca blend and Tassie Devil tea. (I think you can even get these three in a gift pack together from the market, for obvious touristy reasons!) I'm not sure if they taste great because they're so special or if there was a particular focus on making these ones taste the BEST because we're all Tassie Proud down here, but in any case, HOORAY.
If you're a regular, make sure you ask for a loyalty card, where you can actually get every 10th box free! read more
