The Details
Indulge in the nostalgia of a timeless classic with Chanui's Special Reserve – the very tea that our founder, Doug, craved and embarked on a quest to find all those years ago. This brew captures the essence of the past, reminiscent of the tea affectionately known as gumboot tea in New Zealand after the footwear of the workman who enjoy it.
To those in the UK, builders' tea is your closest translation. Its robust, fortifying flavour will take you back to memories of your most deserved cups of tea after a hard morning’s graft.
To savour the full character of this strong black tea, use one large teaspoon per cup and always pour in fresh boiling water to extract the full essence and flavour. Allow it to infuse for 2-3 minutes then strain, pour and enjoy the intensity of flavour.
Black tea has many known health benefits including digestive and cardiovascular health. For more on this, read our blog post: The health benefits of tea according to Chanui.

Let customers speak for us
Quality brew - arrived promptly - Usual high standard. Well done Chanui
We are great tea drinkers. We take a pack of the English breakfast tea bags wherever we go on our travels. A delicious bold flavour.
When I travelled NZ years ago, I fell in love with this tea. After came back to AUS I couldn't go back to the tea I used to drink everyday. Since then I've been ordering online and still enjoying everyday. Best flavour and aroma.
Great product, good price and excellent delivery. We love this tea and now some of our friends are changing over to it. Nice
A great tea with just the right amount of ginger.
Paul thinks Chanui Peppermint tea is the best by a huge margin
Tasty Earl Grey tea, we mix with Changi black tea to make a beautiful blend.
It’s good black or with milk.
We love it our friends always comment and we share the recipe. Been drinking a mix like this for,years but Changi is best. Thankyou.
English Breakfast Tea is always the Tea to start the day and to quietly mull over the proposed happenings ahead. A nice brew to wake up to.
I like Lemon and mixed with Green makes me like Green. Then for a change I put a handful of fresh Mint in before pouring the hot water. Really refreshing.
Chainui Special reserve is my absolute favourite strong tea.
