About Tea Total
It all began in 1995 when the words premium + tea weren’t commonly used together. Tea Total’s founder saw the opportunity for tea lovers to enjoy a quality cup of tea at their local café without this being a supermarket tea bag! From there the journey has grown with Tea Total crafting and blending over 150 teas using only the highest quality ingredients and ethically sourced premium teas for all New Zealanders to enjoy as an everyday luxury.

In 2018 Shelley Magee, a passionate tea lover, traded in her corporate career for a long awaited dream of owning her own business. It was a huge leap of faith and as they say, the rest is history! The words now resonate, if only I had done this sooner, but life is all about timing!

Tea Total is a truly family owned Kiwi business, with Shelley’s three daughters all working part time in the business, either running social media, serving in the shop or packing in the warehouse. Her husband looks after the IT side of the business and runs the tea machines as required. As a family, they live and breathe tea all day, everyday, it’s taken over their lives in a wonderful way.

We believe tea is made to be shared, and we are here to share the joy that comes with every cup, while having fun along the way.“

Ethically Sourced

At Tea Total we only work with socially responsible suppliers who value our principles and share our commitment in ethically and sustainably sourcing our products.

As a producer and distributor of food, valuing premium quality, sustainability and preserving resources are our top priorities. We only partner with suppliers and businesses who strictly reject child and forced labour and adhere to a code of conduct that doesn’t discriminate on gender, race, appearance, religion or age.

Our breakfast blends and some traditional black and green teas are purchased directly from the tea estates in India, Japan and Sri Lanka. There are no middle men involved, we pay a good price, it is far in excess of the amount they would receive from giant multinationals. Workers are unionised, they work eight-hour days, five days per week, receive free housing, electricity, schooling and medical clinics. Because of these conditions, positions are much sought after and often handed down within families.

Our blended teas (fruit infusions, herbal teas and Earl Greys) are certified according to European International Food Standards (IFS) and tested in German laboratories for over 500 chemicals and pesticides. This ensures a level of quality that is without equal.
