Bushells

Back in 1883, when Alfred ‘the Tea Man’ Bushell opened his first teashop in Queensland, he knew he was onto something good. His distinctly smooth, and full-flavoured tea quickly became an over-the-counter sensation, together with his rigorous attention to quality and authenticity ensured his success.
Through two world wars, floods, droughts, booms and busts, Australia has changed a lot, but it’s nice to know some things haven’t!
For over 125 years, a long line of expert tea tasters have worked hard to maintain “the Tea Man’s” highest quality standards, so that we can now, all enjoy the great authentic Bushells cuppa, year after year, generation after generation.
Bushells is also the major national sponsor of the ‘Driver Reviver’ road safety program, supporting the volunteers (SES, Lions, Fire Fighters and many other community groups) who give up their own time to serve a refreshing cuppa to more than one million Australian motorists, every year.

    Great image Blossom, I know where one of these signs has been
    kept in very good condition only it is painted in yellow…it is on the
    Bass Highway (Wivenhoe shop corner) at Burnie Tasmania…..Dann
    I should have taken a shot last time I was down there…maybe I will next
    time I am down there I go there often as I lived there 25 years ago but I did think
    about taken a shot and then I though get
    in the shop and get what you want and leave the camera in the bag for
    once!

    Thanks so much Julia! I would love to see the one at Burnie – One day they may be all a thing of the past! I have seen many faded on brick walls, but this is one has thankfully been preserved! x :o)

    wonderful to capture these images that seem to resonate in past memories…easy to be attracted to that sense of permanence when things feel as if they never change…even when the future rushes towards us
