Make your cuppa count. Dilmah is raising $20,000 for hospice.‍

There's still time to make your cuppa count. Dilmah Tea, Hospice New Zealand's long-standing national partner, is raising $20,000 to support hospice care across Aotearoa, and every specially marked pack helps.

Until 14 November 2026, $1 from every specially marked Dilmah Earl Grey or English Breakfast 100-pack sold goes to Hospice New Zealand. That money supports the work of all 32 hospices around the country, including Hospice Wairarapa.

Next time you're at the supermarket, look for the yellow $1 hospice sticker on the front of the pack.

Bake along with Jo Seagar

To celebrate the campaign, hospice ambassador Jo Seagar has created a new recipe - an easy Earl Grey tea loaf with raisins and lemon zest, made with Dilmah Earl Grey.

It takes just seven ingredients. Jo's tip: wrap it and leave it for a day before slicing, then slice thinly and spread generously with butter. It's perfect for a cuppa with friends.
