Tim Tam is the representative brand of chocolate biscuits under Arnott's, which was founded in 1865 and is Australia's number one biscuit producer and one of the largest food companies in the Asia Pacific region. Tim Tam is well-known in Australia and is known as Australia's "national cookie", as Oreo is to Americans.
Domestic wafer biscuits pay attention to sweetness but not greasy, which will generally reduce sweetness and thickness, while foreign products are mostly typical high-sweetness biscuits, with a relatively strong taste, and chocolate coating is basically its standard. One of the highlights of Tim Tam's chocolate coating is the outer layer of the biscuits, the chocolate has a faint caramel flavor, and although the chocolate layer is not too thick, the chocolate product made from cocoa butter and cocoa mass is mellow enough. The wafers are fluffy and the fillings are soft and creamy, and compared to the Knoppers' thick cubes, the Tim Tam is a small strip with a softer texture, making it suitable for dessert and can be eaten with milk.
Tim Tam has a variety of flavors, the most recommended classic series of original and chocolate flavors, the chocolate flavor is the most harmonious combination with wafer biscuits and fillings, the sweet and chocolate flavor is pure and natural, fragrant and mellow, and it is the most praised product among Tim Tam's many flavors.
The Tim Tam Gelato Messina series includes chocolate cherry coconut, iced coffee, Turkish delight, salted caramel vanilla and chocolate mint, etc., which are richer in flavor than the classic series, but generally have a higher sweetness, which is not very suitable for the taste of Chinese people, and the products are rarely introduced into China.
When Tim Tam entered the Chinese market, he improved the product and named it Ti Mei Tian, which was produced by its Indonesian subsidiary. The sweetness of the improved Ti Mei Tian biscuits has been reduced, but the taste is not as thick as the Australian version. It should be noted that the chocolate of the Australian version of Tim Tam is cocoa butter and cocoa mass, while the outer layer of Ti Mei Tian's chocolate is made of cocoa powder as the main raw material, and the aroma is obviously inferior, lacking the rich flavor and taste of cocoa butter.
However, compared to the Australian version of the Classic series and the Gelato Messina series, Timei Tian has a moderate sweetness, which is more suitable for the taste of Chinese consumers, and the quality is also better than the general chocolate wafer biscuits on the market, with unique cheese and cappuccino flavors to choose from, you can try it. The price of Timei Tian is cheaper than the Australian version, the price of the 150g model is about 25 yuan, and the price of the Australian version of the 200g model is about 40 yuan. In addition, TMT is designed in a separate small package, which is more convenient for storage.
