Trying out some new tea I picked up from McIver’s shop at the Victoria Markets in Melbourne.

I picked the (It’s A) Bolshie Brew mainly because of the name. It has a good smokey flavour which isn’t overpowering and is a blend of Lapsang and Assam.

The Miner’s Tea is very similar to Yorkshire tea.

Two brown paper packages with tea inside. The labelling is the same for both and the top has two lines - “McIVER’S” and “Tea & Coffee Merchants” underneath. The bottom half has the name of the tea and indicates the tea blend and where it was blended. The packet on the left is “(It’s a) Bolshie Brew” and on the right is “Miner’s Tea”.
