Kawakawa
Kawakawa has a distinctive peppery and herbaceous character. It can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other ingredients to create a balanced and aromatic infusion.
Mānuka
Mānuka brings a gentle New Zealand character to tea blends, with a familiar native botanical note that works well alongside herbs, flowers and tea leaves.
Horopito
Horopito has a warming, spicy flavour that adds depth and interest to tea blends. It can be paired with other botanicals and spices for a richer cup.

Our range includes blends made with New Zealand botanicals, as well as teas grown or created in New Zealand. Each product page provides the relevant ingredients, flavour notes and brewing guidance.
Choose a botanical blend for its individual flavour, or explore the range to compare the different ways New Zealand ingredients can be used in tea.
How to choose a New Zealand botanical tea
If you enjoy fresh and herbaceous flavours, kawakawa is a good place to start. For something warmer and more aromatic, explore blends featuring horopito and spices. Mānuka-based blends offer a softer native botanical character.
If you are unsure which flavour will suit you, try a tea sample or explore our New Zealand six sampler.
