Our Story began with a Love of Tea and a Loathe of Lawnmowing!

Heke Homemade Herbals expanded to create nearly 70 different blends, supplying over 60 retailers throughout NZ and graduated from Facebook Messenger sales to this website. Won Silver Medals at the Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards in 2019 (Awake & Aware) and 2020 (Soothe).

We still make small, hand-crafted batches and package the Teas ourselves but have moved out of home and into two custom-made cabins on the property. I now 'go to work' (down 5 steps and around the corner, lol). As well as the Tea Blends on this website I also create teas for Corporate Gift Baskets, Wellness Centres, Retreats, Cafes, Hairdressers, Gift Shops, Organic shops and other NZ Businesses.

The best place to keep up to date with all things Heke Homemade Herbals is our website page. You can DM me questions there and I'll answer them myself. Not a chatbot in site!

I love creating tea blends and connecting with customers. Still passionate about what I do 9 years on. Keeping our Teas full of flavour, colour, texture and wellness benefits through using top quality organic herbs, and absolutely no additives, is where it's at for me.
