Key information:
Zealong is the only commercial tea plantation in New Zealand growing and producing 100% Certified Organic Teas.
In 1996, 1,500 rigorously-selected tea cuttings were imported from the best tea growing regions in Asia. Following a long quarantine from New Zealand’s Ministry of Agriculture, Vincent was left with only 130 plants. After careful propagation and a wealth of knowledge gained through the years, Zealong’s lush tea plants add up to just over 1 million and are spread over 40 hectares.
Zealong tea is carefully handpicked by skilled and expert workers during only three short harvest seasons each year.
Every batch of fresh leaves is different, leading to countless micro-adjustments as they dry, roast, shape, and roll our delicate tea leaves to perfection in our modern facility.
