FAQs

Is Taha child and elder-friendly?

It sure is, kids love the taste of Taha and for the elderly, it reminds them of good ole homemade Ginger Beer.

Where is Taha made?

Taha is contract manufactured by Steam Brewing Co, Tāmaki Makaurau-Auckland. The kawakawa is chopped up and blended with other ingredients including mānuka honey & ginger extract. It's then left overnight to brew. The following day the blend is carbonated, bottled and packaged.

Can I drink Taha when I’m hapu (pregnant)?

The feedback we’ve had from pregnant wahine (women) is that Taha has helped them handle morning sickness. There’s no alcohol or artificial colourings in Taha, it’s made with kawakawa, mānuka honey & ginger, that’s gotta be good for you and pepi (baby). If you’re unsure, please check with your midwife or doctor.

Does Taha mix with alcohol

Yes it does as long as you’re over 18! Feedback from customers says they enjoy Taha in their gin, vodka, tequila, rum and whiskey. Check out our mixer recipe. 

What is Kawakawa

Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) is a native plant that grows wild in many parts of Aotearoa-New Zealand. Kawakawa has been used for its health benefits by Māori for hundreds of years.

What does Taha mean?

Translated from te reo Māori (the Māori language) the word TAHA has a number of meanings including; to belong, side & edge. We've infused these meanings into our name by saying that:

"TAHA belongs to Aotearoa-New Zealand, the TAHA team work side-by-side
to bring you this drink from the edge of the World".
