Certified Teas by the Darjeeling Tea Board of India

Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the World after water. It is consumed by people from many cultures in a wide variety of styles.

Years ago people were using ceramic teapots in Asia and the Middle East. Tea didn't reach most Europeans until the late 16th century.

New Zealand ranks seventh in the World by annual per capita consumption of Tea! 1.19kg OR 2.63lbs. That's a lot of cups of Tea!

Brewing Tips

Brewing the perfect cup of old fashioned tea with loose leaves is quite simple. All you need is some patience and the right mindset to begin.

There is no right or wrong way to make a cup of tea.

We recommend that you just feel free to experiment and allow your own palate to guide you into that perfect journey.

However, here are some key tips to brewing a good cup of tea... read more in our Blog

What Should Go Into Your Tea Bag?

Tea bags have been used as tea infusers since 1903. In those days loose tea was intended to be removed from the bags by the customers, however, people found it easier to brew tea with the tea leaves still inside the porous bags. Voila! The birth of convenience and tea bags.

Over time, tea bags began to evolve. At first they began to consist of tea dust and tea sweepings that didn't make it in the auction market.

Today, we can choose to buy specialised bio-degradable tea bags, where we can choose what kind of tea leaves to brew and how much of them go into our tea bags. Convenience wins again. So choose the right type of tea bag and the right kind of tea leaves to go in them.

Enjoy your cuppa and brew some patience and time for yourself.
