To celebrate 30 years of Zealong Tea Estate, we invite you to experience an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at New Zealand’s only commercial tea estate.
For one day only, we’re throwing open the gates and inviting you behind the scenes of New Zealand’s only commercial tea estate, an experience not offered in over four years.
Wander through our lush organic tea fields, step inside the factory where the magic happens, and immerse yourself in the sights, aromas, and craftsmanship of real tea production. Meet the people behind the leaves, our expert team will be on hand, sharing stories, knowledge, and the passion that has shaped Zealong over three decades.
Enjoy a tour and indulge in a tea tasting that brings the journey from leaf to cup to life. This is more than a visit; it’s a rare opportunity to experience Zealong like never before. A celebration of our past, present, and future.
