For over a century, Australians have enjoyed the traditional recipe of Billy Tea, first made famous by wandering swagmen who required a satisfyingly strong and refreshingly full-bodied cup of tea. Enjoy the slightly smoky, distinctly roasted flavor that comes from blending in fragrant Kooloo red-leaf tea. For an authentic bush brew, you no longer need a billy or a swag, just a Billy tea bag.

And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
- Banjo Paterson

The original version of Banjo Paterson's Waltzing Matilda was later adapted by the Billy Tea Company and used as an advertising jingle in 1903. Throughout history, it was the Billy Tea version that made the song famous! Banjo wrote this celebrated poem in 1895 at Dagworth Homestead, a bush station in Queensland, a few years after the Billy Tea Company was founded.

Where does the word "billy" come from? Well, it is said that the word was originally derived from the French word "bouilli"—pronounced "boo-illi"—after a brand of imported canned beef soup that was a staple consumed by Australian miners during the historic gold rush days. They would attach a wire handle to the empty cans and use them to boil water for tea. Luckily, we have electric kettles these days!
