"I love Madura Tea and have been drinking it for 15 years after my mother-in-law got me to change from Lan Choo Tea. I used to have to buy it from the Health Food Shop. All my family have changed to Madura and we mostly have tea leaves and use a tea pot. The Best! When we go away we always take our Madura Tea Bags as there is nothing like it. A cuppa fixes all sorts of things."

Making Pure Tea

At Madura, we oversee every aspect of tea production on site, ensuring the strictest quality control from plantation to pack.

We use clean, green and modern processes to produce a uniquely Australian range of healthy, pure teas that taste exceptional.

Following is an outline of the Madura tea making process:

  • Our tea is harvested during spring, summer and autumn when the very finest leaves and buds are plucked for processing
  • The freshly cut leaves are left to wither naturally in cool, air-blown troughs
  • The withered leaves are conveyed through a Rotorvane and passed through finely toothed stainless steel rollers which crush, tear and curl the leaves to produce finely cut leaf particles
  • The rolled and cut leaf particles are conveyed to oxidising trays and left for up to two hours, during which time the leaves change color and release their aroma
  • The leaf is dried in a hot air drier to reduce moisture content to three percent, removing any risk of contamination and ensuring a long shelf-life
  • When making green tea, the oxidation process is omitted and the cut leaf is transferred directly from the Rotorvane to the drier
  • The dried tea leaves are cleaned and graded using vibrating screens, electrostatic rollers, sifters and windfall machines
  • The smaller tea grades are used for teabags and the larger particles are used for leaf tea, with all dusts discarded
  • Tea from the Madura plantation is blended with select imported teas to ensure consistent flavor, taste and aroma
  • Every Madura tea blend is tasted by a panel prior to packing, to ensure quality
  • All Madura products are barrier-sealed to prevent contamination and to guarantee freshness for up to three years.
