Tarkine Tea

Where is the Tarkine?

The Tarkine region in the north west of Tasmania is the second largest expanse of cool temperate rainforest in the world!! Much like our tea it is refreshing, healthy and wild, and it is where we source some of our ingredients.

Tea using only locally sourced ingredients

Tea is not normally associated with Australian produce, but there are so many amazing tea ingredients to be found on our doorstep!

Only 100% Australian ingredients are used in this refreshing green tea, with over 80% of the ingredients sourced in Tassie itself!

• Manuka Leaf harvested from Tasmania’s east coast
• Tasmanian Pepper leaves from our Wild Pepper Isle orchard
• Dry Ideas Huon Green Tea. Winner of Tasmania’s Delicious Produce Award and Australia’s oldest pesticide free green tea grower.
• Lemon Myrtle from Queensland. (Almost local! Unfortunately Lemon Myrtle doesn’t like the Tassie cold!)

This truly Tasmanian Tarkine tea can get a little spicy if left steeping for too long. Recommend less than a tea spoon per cup steeping for just a minute. But play around to get it just the way you like it!
