has diversified into biscuits. The spokesman says they are made for NZ'ers by NZ'ers. Would I be right in thinking that these must be made by Griffins.
there tea is nothing special. so weak and so over priced,, did they change there brand name from chai to chanui.

Ridiculous price. They don't even grow it here - unlike another NZer who does grow tea in NZ. They import it, call it "NZ" tea and charge twice as much. Tea is all the same, same plant. Black tea is processed the same. yes there are grades depending whether the small tips or bigger leaves were used and I car not about that.

I'm confused about some of what's being said. Chanui is normally cheaper than other OK brands (maybe not Bell and those ones, but they taste like dishwater). and their earl grey is one of the strongest, definitely stronger than Twinings. Or it was, I haven't bought it in ages. Wasn't a fan of their English Breakfast though.

Homebrand or Budget are just as good and cheap as chips.
You are paying for the name not the quality.

I've found Homebrand stuff to be awesome, actually. Their cocoa is fantastic, much better than Cadbury's.

Does anyone know the name of the NZ grown tea and where it is sold. I don't know if it is just me or not but lately all tea is tasting like dishwater.

i think the NZ tea is Zeagold. Don;t know where it's sold, maybe their website will say or you can purchase online.

T2 stores are the best! A go to for something exotic or gifts. T2 cafes and stores in Sydney are to die for for all tea enthusiasts!

We love Nerada tea in this house. Its grown inland from Cairns and sold by Countdown. Chanui is too weak for us.

There's a T2 store in downtown Auckland, too.
I prefer TeaTotal. We'll occasionally do a big binge order and try a whole bunch of flavours. http://www.teatotal.co.nz/
Also in Auckland is the Tea cafe place in the Mt Eden shops. They have the NZ grown tea I think. plus heaps of others. The woman there is so knowledgeable, very cool.
