Firstly I make no apologies for my review of this tea as to be honest nostalgia and rose tinted glasses no doubt colour it. Being a Kiwi, Bell tea holds a special place in my memory, and it was the usual tea brewed up for breakfast, morning and afternoon teas, and whenever a cuppa was required. Saying that it really is a very good, no nonsense, traditional British style brew with good colour, nice aroma and a great clean taste. Perfect for putting your feet up and enjoying with a good biscuit. Difficult to find outside of NZ but well worth trying if you're ever in Godzone, you happen across it, or you have a kind Kiwi mate who will send you a box.
