Choysa tea was first introduced to new zealand by auckland’s bond brothers in 1905 and has established itself as a reliable, consistent quality tea and a favourite of new zealanders for over 100 years.

It is referred to as the perfect tea because of its flavour, fragrance, strength and comforting and refreshing qualities. Choysa tea with its distinctive, bright red and yellow oval logo remains a top selling brand. Since 1905 choysa tea has been produced from the blends of the world’s finest small leaf tea to provide a refreshing, quality taste and aroma and a rich, full flavour in a traditional tea bag. Available in 5 different variants in tea bags, rounds and loose leaf tea there is a choysa blend available for all new zealanders looking for the perfect balance of flavour, aroma and strength in their black tea.

Not happy with the tea bags lately, they are weak, breaking and leaving tea leaves in my cuppa. Bring back the originals please. This is my third box that I am not happy with!

Love the new packaging. having two separate bags is a great idea but I have to shake each bag before I use it to check it is completely sealed and even then it can burst when you are removing them from the cup. Flavour could do with a boost too.

We are in our 60’s and have always bought Choysa tea bags and have really enjoyed our cuppa but now we totally agree with the other people. The bags fall apart very easily and sometimes you can’t get a good cup of tea out of it. Too weak and no flavor. Disappointed customer. Looking else were.
+ PROS: None
- CONS:AS above

Totally agree with these reviews. We’ve been buying Choysa Tea bags for more than 20years and now they are rubbish. They break easily and taste weak. Definitely changing brands. I don’t like the budget brand but geez at least they hold the tea in the bag. How disappointing that you have chosen cheap and nasty over quality.
+ PROS: New packaging
- CONS:The quality of the Tea and the new paper

What have you done to the choysa tea bags. They break in the cup and you’ve got tea dust floating in the cup. They don’t taste the same either. I have been using Choysa round tea bags for years, but I’m going to have to change to a different brand. So sad

About to start using another brand. No flavour in the tea anymore.Been using Choysa for over 30 years and now no matter how long you leave the bag to steep the resulting brew is insipid. Whatever you have done, be it the packaging, tea bag material or the tea used, it’s an abject failure on your part.
