Taiheke is a New Zealand-grown dual-purpose hop with bright citrus - grapefruit and lime - moving towards tropical fruit. It comes from a US cultivar, but NZ terroir has changed its character so much that it is now treated as its own variety.

Hop profile

  • Origin: grown in New Zealand from US cultivar USDA 56013
  • Alpha acid: around 6-8% (NZ Hops figure)
  • Aroma: grapefruit, lime, citrus and tropical fruit, with a resinous edge
  • Type: dual purpose

How to use it

Use it across several kettle additions as a single hop, or save it for late additions and dry hopping. NZ Hops suggests pairing it with other New Zealand aroma hops such as Motueka. Alpha acid changes from crop to crop, so check the figure on your pack and scale your recipe with our Hops Alpha Adjustment calculator.

Who it's for

Brewers of New World pale ales, IPAs and fruit-forward summer ales who want a fresh, refreshing citrus finish. T90 pellets are the standard form for home brewing - consistent, easy to weigh and easy to store. Keep the opened pack sealed and cold; our hop storage guide explains how.
