Why Chan Cha Tea is Different

At Chan Cha Tea, we go beyond just selling tea. We source directly from China’s most respected tea regions to bring you green, oolong, black, and aged puer teas. Because we focus on authenticity and quality, every tea is chosen for its purity, flavour, and cultural value.

Moreover, our team believes that every sip should feel like a small ritual. Therefore, we handle each tea with care — from harvest to your teacup. As a result, customers enjoy not only great flavour, but also a deeper connection to tradition.

The Chan Cha Tea Story

Chan Cha Tea has it’s origins with an older generation set and active for decades in China. The tradition of tea pouring, tea tasting and of course the tea itself, have been passed down, first through generations, and now, through cultures.

Chan Cha Tea was created to provide Kiwi’s with an opportunity to experience rich authentic tea flavors direct from China’s most revered tea regions. We seek to share and grow the tea tasting culture locally in New Zealand. Sharing tea with others can be a most peaceful social experience, leading one to feel chan in unison.
