what is zealong tea powder?
Zealong Tea Powder is a finely milled, whole-leaf tea made from certified organic, New Zealand-grown leaves. Unlike traditional loose-leaf tea, where the leaves are steeped and then removed, tea powder allows you to consume the entire leaf.
This delivers the full character, colour, and complexity of the tea in every cup.
Grown, processed, and milled entirely on our Waikato estate, Zealong Tea Powder reflects the purity of New Zealand’s environment and the care of estate craftsmanship.
Zealong Tea Powder is a single-ingredient product.
Each packet contains only 100% ground tea.
No fillers, no additives.
Full of goodness and nothing else.
