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.

Packaging & Formats

Each 100g package provides approximately 35–40 servings. Choose the format that best fits your daily tea ritual:

• The Tin — Artistic & Reusable: An elegant interior piece featuring a bespoke, hand-drawn illustration inspired by the story and places behind the blend — like the lighthouse on our Kia Ora tin. Minimalist and timeless, it makes a heartwarming gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or special moments. Designed to be kept, repurposed, and infinitely refilled.

• The Pouch — Practical & Eco-Refill: Lightweight and fully resealable to preserve delicate aromas and essential oils. Perfect for everyday convenience or as a seamless, eco-friendly refill for your tin to support a zero-waste routine.

Storage & Shelf Life

Our teas and infusions retain their full freshness and aromatic profile for up to two years when stored in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dry place away from direct light, moisture, or strong odours.

While you will always find a "Best Before" date printed on the packaging for regulatory compliance, tea is a dry product that doesn't expire in the traditional sense.

Beyond this date, the brew remains 100% safe to enjoy; however, the most delicate top notes and original aromas may become softer and less intense compared to a freshly packed batch.
