Feeling fancy? Book high tea at Zealong Tea Estate. You get a yummy selection of delicate savouries and sweets, and a choice of one of the expertly grown house teas. I sat out on the deck and enjoyed the view and beautiful sunshine, sipping on what seemed like a never ending light floral tea. They also offer tours of the plantation.
For High Tea as an immersive experience, head to Zealong's Gordonton Estate. At New Zealand's only tea plantation, you'll be rewarded with stunning views, the Discover Tea Experience tour that takes you behind the scenes of Zealong and the creation and traditions of tea, and enjoy High Tea with the estate's finest brews.
