We moved into our brand spanking new purpose-built facility at Crooks Road in December and it’s great to be here.
As well as bringing all of our Auckland based commercial functions under one-roof we are now able bring the tea and coffee parts of our business closer together.
It’s just so good to have a facility that we are all proud of and to be able to invite visitors to. We had a great turnout for the opening and ran tea and coffee tasting sessions for as many visitors who were interested in slurping and spitting with us.
The new tea and coffee tasting rooms are side-by-side and designed to flow together to give the feel of a bigger space. In reality they are separated by glass with positive air-flow pressure to ensure that the coffee aroma stays within the coffee room and doesn’t affect the tea-tasting which is more aroma sensitive.
Many industry friends and colleagues around the world said it couldn’t be done and we should separate the two completely, but we went ahead and did it anyway and it has paid off! (big nod to the architects and designers here for bringing alive our vision)
We have a good balance of natural light and “natural-light” illumination to ensure as even and consistent tasting conditions as possible.
Its also good to have more storage space for our library of tea and coffee samples.
The tasting rooms look out onto our new staff café which is a real hub of/for the business. This makes it easy for us to pull unsuspecting colleagues into our tasting rooms to try out our new tea and coffee blends!

2121hi there my name is mavis21@xtra.co.nz i wonder if you produce white teacalledmadura tea it is a real healthy tea could u let me know where i can buy it thank u mavis
Morning Mavis,
We do know Madura, and their tea, very well as we have visited them there and they have been here to see us and our manufacturing site. However, the tea isn't imported into New Zealand at the moment.
If you are looking for a white tea, Twinings does one that is sold in most New Worlds in New Zealand. Like green tea, white tea is packed full of antioxidants which may help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Twinings white tea has a delicate, subtle and sweet taste.
Hope this helps, and thanks for your question!
