A fire broke out in the Port Hills in Christchurch this afternoon (14th February).

Here's what you need to know:
- A Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokesperson said it was alerted to the vegetation fire near Worsleys Road near Cracroft around 2.15pm.
- The public had been urged to stay away from the area to allow firefighting crews to work. Motorists are also advised to use alternative routes.
- Emergency services are evacuating people from nearby properties to Te Hapua – Halswell Centre / Library & Community Centre.
- With helicopters in the air already, the public is also warned to not fly drones anywhere near the fire ground as this will mean the helicopters will have to be grounded.
- Canterbury District, which includes areas north of the Rakaia River, was under total fire ban until further notice.
- No open-air fires will be allowed and all fire permits will be suspended when a prohibited fire season comes into place at 11.59pm on Wednesday. Dry weather was forecast to continue for the next two months.

Hey, tea enthusiasts! Ready to transform your tea experience? Say hello to the revolution in your cup - pyramid tea bags. Unlike the old-school flat bags, these little pyramids are a total game-changer, and here’s why:

🌱 Space to Expand: Our pyramid tea bags give that gorgeous tea leaves room to dance! This means they can fully expand, releasing every ounce of flavour and aroma into your cup, making each sip a deep dive into bliss.

🌿 Quality Matters: It’s not just about the shape; what’s inside that counts. We pack these bags with whole leaves – no more settling for the broken bits. Whole leaves retain their natural oils and character, ensuring a superior taste that flat bags can’t match.

💚 Eco-Friendly Sipping: We care about the planet as much as we care about your tea experience. Our pyramid bags are designed with biodegradable materials, making your tea ritual a sustainable one.

🫖 A Richer Brew: The design isn’t just for show; it significantly enhances the infusion process. This means more flavour, more aroma, and a more enjoyable tea time every time.

So, why stick to the flat life when you can go 3D and see the difference in your cup? Our pyramid tea bags are not just a choice but a declaration of love for tea.
Upgrade your tea game, embrace the pyramid revolution, and sip on the difference with every cup. Ready to steep in the goodness? Dive into the world of pyramid tea bags and let your taste buds celebrate.
