Every now and then, somebody comes to our Tasting Room with something quite remarkable. The Waikato Black loose leaf tea was one of those memorable occasions. We had to add it to our collection and share it with you.

A first for us from New Zealand; showcasing an innovative new tea terroir and mastery.

Tasting Notes

This whole leaf black tea has a full-bodied biscuity mouth feel that’s both distinct and gentle. Notes of gingerbread and late summer honey.

Cost Per Cup

59p per cup based on 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Zealong Estate, Waikato, New Zealand

SEEDLINGS

Careful propagation

In 1996 the Zealong Estate imported rigorously-selected tea cuttings from the best tea growing regions across Asia.

Over 1,500 seedlings were imported yet only 130 survived the rigorous New Zealand quarantine regulations. Through careful propagation these now flourish in the fertile soil and clean air.

Climate

Gentle sunshine, and abundant rainfall

This climate is the gift that keeps on giving; abundant rainfall, ideal temperatures with the right amount of sunshine and free-draining acidic soil.
