Pioneers of one the earliest sustainable tea plantations in Australia, Michael and Norma Grant-Cook laid Madura Tea’s foundation back in 1978 in the fertile farmlands of Northern New South Wales. Fuelled by a vision to create the purest tea blends while nurturing the ecosystem that sustains them, the Grant-Cook legacy has been upheld as a blueprint for quality tea, underpinned by a respect for environment and community.

Today, Madura Tea has evolved into a multi award-winning producer of over twenty blends, with a loyal client base Australia-wide and overseas. Renowned for our passionate approach to the art of tea making, Madura Tea remains a family owned and operated business, employing a locally-sourced team of fifty that share a love for quality tea, and a commitment to maintaining the standards and principles on which the company has been built.

Taking a holistic approach to our operation, Madura Tea Estates is proud of our strong position in a competitive market, and the reputation as Australia’s foremost wholly owned and operated tea plantation. In an effort to support our ideals of sustainability, and offsetting our environmental footprint while giving back to the community, the 250,000 plant strong operation is powered by over 400 solar panels, with each stage of production assessed for its impact on the surrounding co-system.

Madura Tea Estates also supports systems thinking, a responsible global environmental approach now being adopted by forward thinking manufacturers; where bulk ingredients are shipped and packed in the country they are to be sold, rather than packed in developing countries and shipped all over the world thus creating high carbon emissions and greater impact on our planet.

Madura Tea Estates is proud of our Australian owned and operated status, we want our product to stand for itself. To this end we are looking to the future by drawing on the past. Our philosophy will always be firmly entrenched with the simplistic ideals of our founders – a commitment to producing the purest, freshest, highest quality tea, to be enjoyed by lovers of tea across the globe.
