About Tapawera Hop Garden

Tapawera Hop Garden is a hop farm at 4574 Motueka Valley Highway, Kohatu, Tapawera, in Tasman. The website for Hop Revolution says it has two hop farms in the Tapawera and Kohatu area, growing nine hop varieties across 220 hectares in the Motueka River valley. The farms sit on either side of the river, on stony soils.

The farm grows Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, Motueka, Pacific Sunrise and Moutere hops, and the business sells its hop pellets to brewers. Harvest is around the end of February, and each variety is picked at a set time. The business also offers a recipe book with 12 brewing recipes, which can be downloaded from the website.
