BEST OF THE BEST TAHA BEVERAGES Founded in 2012 with products available throughout New Zealand, Taha originated from a desire to produce something different using a fusion of Asian and New Zealand Maori herbal ingredients that are used for healing and wellbeing. Taha’s ingredients include kawakawa, organic ginger beer, Manuka honey and pure New Zealand water. The Taha team sustainably wild-harvest the kawakawa from within New Zealand’s native forests…this magical ingredient is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and hepatoprotective properties, and is complemented by the health properties of ginger and manuka honey. These ingredients when combined give Taha its unique taste. Taha translated from Maori has a number of meanings, including to belong, side and edge. Taha Beverages has infused these meanings into all its products, as it says “Taha belongs to Aotearoa-New Zealand - the land of the long white cloud. Taha’s ingredients work side-by-side to bring to you a refreshing sparkling tonic from the edge of the world.” www.tahabeverages.com ORIGINAL FOODS BAKING CO One of New Zealand’s largest privately-owned baking companies, the wholesale baked goods company was established in Christchurch in 1991 and produces more than 90 delicious sweet treats including cakes, donuts, muffins, brownies and slices sold under the Original Foods Baking Co, Goofy, Bite Me and generic supermarket brands.
