Why don’t we have our tea in teabags?

You deserve Better than a cup full of chemicals….

That “healthy cup of tea”? 🫢
Yeah… it’s full of microplastics, glues + chemicals.

You’re not just steeping tea — you’re steeping toxins. 🤯

At The Tea Thief, we keep it clean:
🌿 Organic.
🚫 Plastic-free.
💚 Pure loose leaf only.

👉 Ditch the bag. Join the revolution. Go loose leaf. Clean & Conscience living. 🍃

We had the most amazing Foodie Friends gathering at @raglanruralretreats over the weekend. 🥰

What an honour to spend time with such an inspiring, creative and lovely group of people. It's so rare that we get to hang out like this, with new friends and old. The energy was so good!

Huge thanks to Pete for the epic tour of @raglanfoodco – and thanks so much to Fraser and Dana for showing us their amazing work at @myndmushrooms

Thanks most of all to @lateshahearth for organising everything and being generally wonderful. You're such an inspiration, Tesh!

Aotearoa has so many incredible food and beverage entrepreneurs, and I feel very lucky to call some of them friends. Thank you everyone! Much love. x

SWIPE RIGHT ON DARK & HANDSOME 🔥

He’s Smoky. Rich. A little bit chocolatey. And he’s already won gold, so he knows he’s good.

Our award-winning black tea meets cacao nibs and husk. Bold, smooth, more than a bit flirty.

One rule: don’t take him to bed he’s a daytime date. Caffeine and pillow talk don’t mix. 😉

👉 Meet him at the Chocolate & Coffee Festival, 26 & 27 September, Viaduct Events Centre, Auckland @chocolateandcoffeefestival

Consider this your blind date invite. 💌 by @theteathief

Still not 100%? Sneezing already?

Winter’s not done with everyone yet. And spring’s arrived along with its pollen laden goodies. 🤧

Chances are you’re dealing with one of these. Maybe both.

We recommend:
🍃Greek Mountain Tea. Mountain-grown grown at altitude - supporting your immune system whilst you body finds its feet again.

☀️Summer Meadow. Nettle, dandelion, lemon myrtle and GABA manuka traditionally used to help ease seasonal sniffles and support a sense of calm. Did you know nettle is know to be a natural antihistamine easing itching and sneezing.

Shop the powerhouse, link in bio.

We cut open a supermarket teabag to see what’s inside 😬

When you drink our tea 👇
✅ Beautiful Whole leaf
✅ Traceable to a named estate that cares for its workers
✅ Organic, grown without chemical shortcuts

When you buy cheap tea bags 👇
❌ Tea dust, the leftovers of leftovers
❌ Often plastic (nylon or PET) that sheds billions of microplastics into your cup
❌ Blended and anonymised, so no one’s accountable for how it was grown or who picked it by @theteathief

@theteathief teas are so gorgeous 🩷

Look at the colour of blue tea, just gorgeous.

Souring products for the care packages for @thecomfortconz which are New Zealand 🇳🇿 made and I came across The Tea Thief, I order some for myself straight away to try them myself, it was an easy decision to get some for the care packages.

Fairy dust - Our wee friends anthocyanins make another appearance in The Tea Thief range, quietly fighting the good fight against free radicals to support your wellbeing.

With anti-inflammatory and anti-microbal properties, Fairy Dust will have you feeling calmer than a unicorn in a lavender field. The floral hints of rose and chamomile craft-fully blended with zingy lemon, mint, and turmeric in this antioxidant rich tea are a thing of beauty.

Take a sip and enjoy your own, private, otherworldly experience.
