Whisp of menthol makes this such a nice different tea with the pleasant aroma as you sip away on it.My sister loved this one too

I first discovered this tea when my work took me to Hobart for a year. I loved my time in Tasmania and have continued to buy Antarctic fire from The art of Tea in the years since. It reminds me of great times there. I once tried a different tea company’s version and it was nowhere near it. I highly recommend this tea.

I love the gently cooling, refreshing taste and uplifting aroma of this tea; a unique flavour that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. I would subscribe to its channel.

Ros (Australia)

I'm loving this tea! It is perfect to drink any time of day or evening, refreshing and relaxing, leaving a lovely mint aftertaste.

Excellent tea with real tangy taste and refreshing on the palette

My go-to tea - have been drinking it for some years (as Arctic Fire too) and it's the best morning cuppa. I last ordered it on Thursday afternoon, 15 April 2021 and it was in my mailbox on Friday 16 April! Top work for fast processing - I'm beginning to believe you have a chute directly into Australia Post!

Sinta Porter (Australia)

My most favourite black tea ever! Smooth with that peppermint aftertaste. A tea that is perfect both hot or cold, which is great as I have a habit of letting a cuppa go cold at work. I fist came across this tea - known then as Arctic Fire - a few decades ago. It then became a hard one to find. Luckily it is available today. Do your self a favour if you love a bit of peppermint then try this one!

Victoria Bromberger (Australia)

Absolutely hands down the best blend of Antarctic Fire (known to me as 'Arctic Fire') I have ever tasted. No other version compares - this has the perfect blend of light fruitiness and cooling aftertaste. I cannot recommend this tea highly enough.

The description of Antarctic Fire is exactly right. A beautifully refreshing tea. Absolutely delicious.
