P a cific Jade™ is a high-alpha, dual-purpose hop variety released from the New Zealand HortResearch Program in 2004.

A great selection for brewers who are looking for smooth bittering with expressive flavor.

Riwaka™ is a triploid hop variety with Saaz genetics and one of the most prized cultivars to emerge from New Zealand.

This bright and zesty aroma makes Riwaka a refreshing fit in many hop-forward styles, especially IPAs, hazies and crisp pilsners. A quintessential New Zealand hop.
