KapuTī
KapuTī Tea range
Whitney Nicholls-Potts (Ngaati Kurii) and her team make a range of high quality teas and infusions with organic and wild harvested plants - sourcing tea and herbs from her backyard and all over the world.
These serve as the physical example of how kaputī culture creates spaces that foster innovation, conversation, and togetherness - with a distinctly Māori aesthetic and vibe.
Kaputii products are small batch handmade. Each batch has been blended carefully by Whitney and her team in Tāmaki Makaurau, NZ.

Kōrero //Story
"Kia ora - KapuTī studio is a collaborative project based around a small range of locally blended teas and infusions.
The source of inspiration for this project is a love of tea and the culture we enjoy through drinking it: hui, discussion, art, ceremony, wānanga, connectedness to people and nature, manaakitanga.
We hope to restore the ceremony of tea in daily life through the conscious practice of KapuTī. At the same time as providing spaces to hui, wānanga, and kōrero Māori, and opening up spaces to reflect on your own journey with regards to Te Reo Māori.
Every packet of our tea comes from a small handmade batch and is made with high quality loose leaf tea, herbs and spices with instructions to make your ideal cup of tea.
Ngā mihi maioha e hoa ma, Whitney"
