Setting the Standard in Natural Ingredient Innovation
Who We Are
Founded in the late 1980s in the Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland, our 360-hectare tea gardens and factory have long been known for producing premium Australian teas. Today, as Russell Ingredients, we are transforming this legacy into the future of natural extracts.
By repurposing our estate and facilities, we create high-value products from freshly harvested leaves — including fresh aroma, tea extracts, and matcha — serving food, beverage, and wellness markets. Looking ahead, we plan to expand into a wider range of natural extracts and ingredients, continuing our tradition of quality while pioneering new opportunities in natural ingredients.
