Madura Tea Estates

Madura Tea Estates is an Australian company that produces tea.

In 1978, Mike and Norma Grant-Cook, tea planters from Ceylon, established the Madura Tea Estates in Murwillumbah (Tweed River valley) in north-eastern New South Wales. Madura produces Assam tea and green tea (the latter is locally produced since 1989), which is blended with Sri Lanka (Ceylon) tea. As of 2000, the company was 100% Australian-owned. The "Madura Tea" production started in 1982, as of 2003, 25 hectares were used for the plantation.

Madura Tea packagings are 100% recyclable.

Madura Tea dumped halal certification in Australia.

Tea primarily targets the domestic market as part of the "buy Australia" campaign. Like its competitors, Tea Estates of Australia and Nerada Tea, Madura Tea established a visitor center, where tourists can taste and buy samples. Madura Tea became the official tea of Parliament House in Sydney in 2013 (replacing Twinings).
