loose leaf black tea
Zealong is the first commercial tea garden in New Zealand. It was established in 1996 by tea enthusiast Vincent Chen, and only the finest quality tea is grown there. The subsequent production and packaging of the tea leaves are conducted with respect to nature, directly at the tea plantation in the region of Waikato. The black-brown, gently rolled, long leaves give a crystal clear golden-orange infusion. The taste and aroma are dominated by sweet orange and ripening hazelnut, with a subtle hint of cinnamon
Preparation recommended by Zealong: Allow 3-4 g of tea (approx. 2 tsp) for each 1.5 dl of water at the temperature of 85-90°C. Leave to infuse for 2 mins, then strain. Suitable for 4 infusions. Preparation recommended by Oxalis: Allow 2 g of tea (1 tsp) for each 1.5 dl of water at the temperature of 90°C. Leave to infuse for 3 mins, then strain. Suitable for 2-3 infusions.

Tea from lower parts of the Ruhuna region in the south of Sri Lanka. The long, thin leaves brew to give a crystal clear orange-brown infusion, boasting the pleasantly sweet taste of nougat. The tea drinks well with milk.

A notable aspect of this tea is that the leaves are rolled into small pellets, which result in a dark infusion with a mahogany hue. The flavour is rich, sweet, malty and exquisitely smooth with a short finish. It drinks well with milk.
