Matcha and Green Tea Workshop

Alina from Khandallah

Whisk, roast, sip, and slow down.

We're officially launching our hands-on Japanese tea workshop series—and you're invited to step into the calm, sensory world of matcha and hōjicha.

This isn’t just a class. It’s a full experience.
You'll learn the traditional art of making Japanese tea—from whisking your own vibrant matcha to roasting fragrant hōjicha leaves to create your own custom blend.

✨ Expect to:
– Taste and compare premium matcha grades
– Learn how to prepare matcha the traditional way (and how to nail a matcha latte at home)
– Roast your own green tea into hōjicha
– Take home your own roasted tea
– Enjoy light refreshments, mindful moments, and great company

Whether you're a tea lover, a wellness explorer, or someone who just wants to connect with a beautiful cultural tradition—you'll leave feeling nourished, grounded, and inspired.

📍 Events are happening across Mangawhai, Matakana, Tauranga, Wellington & Christchurch
🎟 Find an event near you + book your spot now: www.eventbrite.com...

This is the magic of Japanese tea. And it’s calling you.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
