Is this blend for you?

You’ll love it if...

• You love deeply refreshing, balsamic, and citrusy teas that "cleanse" the palate.

• You are looking for a natural energy drink to help regain focus and mental clarity.

• You want a versatile tea, exceptional when prepared cold as a thirst-quenching booster for hot days.

Skip it if...

• You prefer distinctively wintry, warm, or spicy flavours (like cinnamon or cloves) or very toasted notes.

• You are looking for a relaxing, caffeine-free infusion to drink before bed.

Brewing Steps

Follow these steps to get the very best from your infusion:

• Quantity: 2,5-3 g of tea (or 1 scoop with our perfect cup tea spoon) for a 200 ml cup

• Water Temp: 80°C

• Infusion time: 2-4 minutes

Our Tip

To avoid scalding the premium leaves of this blend, strictly avoid boiling water ($100°C$). If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, simply remove the water from the heat before the first bubbles begin to form.
In Summer (Extra Fresh Effect): Prepare a cold brew by steeping 15 grams of Kia Ora in one litre of water in the fridge for 6 hours. Serve with ice and a fresh lime slice: you’ll have a natural, sugar-free soft drink that outperforms any industrial beverage.

Sweet Pairings

For a sweet pairing, tangy lemon bars or moist blueberry muffins are an excellent choice to complement the tea’s citrusy and fruity notes. Their bright flavours harmonize beautifully with the refreshing mint and berry tones of the blend, creating a perfectly balanced treat.

Savoury Pairings

For a savoury option, goat cheese crostini drizzled with honey or classic cucumber sandwiches add a touch of elegance to your tea ritual. The creamy and savoury elements contrast wonderfully with the tea’s lively, refreshing profile. For a lighter snack, almond biscotti or a mix of dried fruits and nuts work beautifully. The natural sweetness and nutty undertones enhance the tea’s minty and fruity flavours, making each sip and bite a delightful experience.
