The last were brought from New Zealand by my parents, who keep me well-supplied with these long-time favourites. A thin chewy white chocolate layer is sandwiched between the traditional chocolate cream and biscuits and covered with milk chocolate. Arnott's have added numerous new flavours lately, though I'll always have a soft spot in my belly for the Double Chocolate. Surprisingly I don't like the Dark Chocolate ones - the chocolate's not very dark and the chocolate to biscuit ratio seems wrong somehow. I don't understand why Arnott's doesn't sell these outside Australia and New Zealand - they'd make a fortune! Not only are they delicious but you can also try the Tim Tam Slam with these iconic biscuits. I was once reduced to buying these online and found Aussie Catalogue Company a reliable if pricey supplier of the standard flavours.
Stassen Pure Jasmine Green Tea is the jasmine tea I drink and has the strongest flavour of any jasmine tea I've ever tried. This includes the premium loose jasmine teas my parents bought in China. Considering the Stassen tea comes in teabags this is pretty amazing. This is another product my parents supply me with, as it's not easily available in stores in the US. It's a premium bag tea so a little more expensive than others, but in this case very much worth it.
I first tasted this tea in a Malaysian restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand and purchased the first boxes in the local Taiwanese grocery store. I was later served it at the Aberdeen Centre food court in Richmond, BC. So not only does this tea taste great, but it also brings back memories of two of my favourite places.
