The competition winning umami rub

T-Rub is the BBQ rub you never knew you needed and now can't cook without. It gets its distinctive smokiness from smoked black tea, which adds complexity, colour and a rich depth of flavour. Shiitake mushroom powder brings natural umami into the mix too, giving your dishes a savoury depth that's hard to put down.

Use it on brisket or short ribs and you'll get a proper bark that seals in the juices and delivers umami in every bite. On beef it lifts the natural flavour of the meat, and on game or poultry it adds a rich, slightly oriental twist. Try it on roasted tomatoes or a good oily fish like salmon for something a bit different.

T-Rub is a proven Steak Cookoffs Association competition winner with plenty of top three finishes under its belt, at Smoke in Broke, Meatstock, The Big Chill in Armidale and Up in Smoke. Smokin' Swine, an Australasian BBQ Alliance team we sponsor, swear by it for their brisket.

So why T-Rub? While our other blends carry surfy, coastal names, this one kept the name we gave it during testing. One of our founders is Troy, sometimes called T-Roy, and the not so secret ingredient is smoked tea, so T-Rub stuck.

Australian owned and made, family run and blended in small batches on the Surf Coast. All natural with no preservatives, no additives and no MSG, and gluten free with no gluten detected during testing.

Grill. Enjoy. Go surf.
