Our first event @ Climate Action Campus, Ōtautahi
We're back from an incredible event at the Climate Action Campus, Ōtautahi, and we're thrilled to share that it was a huge success!
🌱🍵 Our journey with Indian Royal Brew started with a passion for Indian + premium + organic teas being sold in New Zealand, and it was amazing to see so many people connect with our story and teas.
From the rich flavours of our blends to the careful selection of ingredients, we loved explaining what makes our teas special. The response was overwhelming, with many attendees choosing to take a piece of our journey home with them.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and bought our teas and shared our vision for a greener, more connected world through the simple pleasure of a great cup of tea. Your support means the world to us! 🌍💚
Thank you, @avoncityford , for helping us with the event.❤️

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Is now the time to change "The Garden City" Title?
Something to natter about over tonight's events.
Since the 2010/2011 Earthquakes, Christchurch has struggled to replicate or make a come-back to regain the "Garden City" title.
There are a large number of contributing factors, land and properties being destroyed and rendered inhabitable = gardens lost for many years or altogether, during the Chaos that followed, residents, businesses and the council had far greater priorities to worry about.
Now the dust has mostly settled, it is becoming more and more obvious that "The Garden City" title can never be lived up to again.
My observations are decisions are being made that are making it impossible:
Huge chunks of land are now mown wastelands, for exercising and dog walking.
Other areas have been converted into water retention/nature and wildlife reserves, none of the plans I have seen or heard, indicate a move back to a Garden City image.
Add to this that high-density housing is reducing the land to grow a garden on and the latest charging for water usage has had a visible effect on how people keep the berm outside their houses. Lots of the properties that are still intact for gardening are now rental properties and it is not hard to see which of those properties are as you drive around, but lots would not win the Garden Award.
I am not in favour or against any of the factors mentioned, I heard chch referred to as "The Garden City" and thought if we had to come up with a new name, what would we want it to be, that reflects a new Image?
Cathedral City is out
Cycle City.....
Wetland wonderland ......
Dog-Friendly City.
I hope you receive all that you deserve in 2025
