Zealong Tea

30/05/2026

In Autumn and Winter, the gorgeous Waikato morning mist transforms our Tea Estate into something truly mystical.

It's the perfect time to sit back, boil the kettle and enjoy a warming cup of certified organic tea.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Explore Zealong.

It was wonderful to welcome visitors who travelled from across both the North and South Islands to spend the day with us. Bringing together at least 900 people from so many different backgrounds and cultures over tea made the occasion especially memorable.

A small look back at the day and our thanks to everyone who was part of it.
