Zealong is a New Zealand tea company based in Hamilton, New Zealand, where local climate, terroir, and lack of heavy frost[1] aid in growing the camellia sinensis tea plant[2] and encouraged initial propagation trials in 1996. It is the first commercial tea plantation in New Zealand.[3] They specialise in high-quality loose teas, green, oolong, and black, and are organic or conversion organic certified, Halal certified, and ISO 22000 / HACCP certified.

Zealong distributes to fine food shops, specialty shops, and through various tea businesses in the world. In January 2010, the company opened a restaurant on the estate,[3] Camellia Tea House. The same year, Zealong gift boxes have been voted world's best packaging by The Dieline, the world's #1 package design website.[4]

A successful export company[5] and a Waikato icon cited for its innovative approach,[6] ambition [7] and support to local economy, Zealong has triggered overseas medias' curiosity, particularly in China[8][9] and Taiwan,[10] where this type of tea historically originates from. Popular New Zealand investigation programme Campbell live showcased Zealong in 2009[11] and case-studied the company as part of their subject on counterfeit products and the historical drought that hit the country in 2013.[12]
