The ceylon black tea

I bought the Ceylon black tea as I have been drinking the same brand for years and wanted to try something fresh. The leaf is well cut and the infusion is bright and brisk, with none of the dust one often finds in cheaper tea. I was impressed by how carefully it was packed and sealed. Delivery arrived on the date given and the tin was undamaged. I shall be ordering again when the current supply runs low.

Better than the supermarket one

Compared with the loose leaf I used to get in the supermarket, this is a bit fussier to brew but the flavour is cleaner. I was expecting it to be a lot dearer than it is. The delivery took a bit longer than the date they gave, about four days, which was a bit annoying. Still happy with it and I've got another bag on the way.

bit pricier than the big names

Compared with the big brand bags at the shop, this is a bit more expensive for what you get. The tea is noticeably better though, so I don't mind paying a little extra. The one thing I'd change is the bag size options, they only do the bigger sizes. Delivery was smooth.

Best value loose leaf

This is the best value loose leaf I've found for a daily cup. The bags are sealed well and the tea stays fresh for weeks. Ordering took two minutes and the box came quickly. Nothing to fault.

Needed something to get me off coffee

I needed something to swap in for coffee after my afternoon jitters got really bad at work. Got a black tea blend and the caffeine is lower than I expected, which is what I wanted. The price per cup is good compared with the coffee shop I was using. Ordering was simple and I've already set up a repeat order so I don't forget.

The matcha powder

I compared three matcha powders before picking this one and it's the smoothest of them. It mixes into milk without clumps, which the cheaper one I tried didn't manage. The colour is a proper vivid green. Delivery was fast and the tub was sealed well. Happy to say it's the one I'm sticking with.

Needed something for work

Needed something to replace the coffee at work because I was getting jittery. Got a green tea blend and it's been great, goes down easy and I'm not crashing mid afternoon. Ordering was dead simple on the app. Turned up quick, will order again.

proper loose leaf sencha

Ordered the Japanese sencha from them and it's the best green tea I've had at home. The leaves are whole and bright green, not dusty bits, and the second and third infusions still taste fresh. I've been buying from them for a couple of years now and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. Bags arrive in a sealed foil pouch that keeps the flavour in properly.

needed a caffeine free option

I needed something caffeine free to drink in the evenings because I was struggling to sleep. The rooibos blend here was a good find and tastes lovely with a bit of honey. This was my first order and the whole thing was easy, from choosing to checkout. It came well packed and arrived within a few days. I've already planned my next order.

The tins are huge

First time ordering and the first thing I noticed was how big the tin was, far bigger than I expected for the price. The tea smells really good when you open it. Checkout was quick and easy and it turned up in two days. Only thing is I'm not sure I'll get through it before it goes stale, but I'll give it a go.

Good value for daily cups

Got the bigger bag of the breakfast blend because it works out a lot less per cup than buying the little boxes. The price per gram is low for what you get and it lasts me about three weeks at work. Ordering took two minutes and it turned up when they said it would.

Cheaper per cup than the supermarket

Compared to the supermarket loose leaf I used to buy, this works out cheaper per cup and the taste is better. I make a pot most mornings so the maths matters. The order arrived well packed and I've not had to top up. Easy to reorder every few weeks.

delivery was late

Tea itself is ok but the delivery was really late, nearly a week past when it said. Had to message them to check and got a reply after a couple of days. Not impressed with that.

Cheaper than the coffee shop

Compared with buying a fancy tea at the coffee shop every day, ordering a bag of this works out much cheaper and tastes just as good to me. My first order was a sample pack and then I went for a full bag. The checkout was smooth and it turned up in a couple of days. Really pleased I made the switch.

ordering from them for years

The Assam they sent this time is as malty and strong as it was when I first started buying from them years ago. I've been a customer since before they changed the website and the reorder button still works just the same. Packing has always been tidy and the tea stays fresh in the tin.

needed a decent green tea

I needed a decent green tea for my office kitchen, as the stuff we had was awful. This one is smooth, a bit grassy, and does the job. The site made ordering simple and the delivery was on time. I know green tea pretty well from years of drinking it, and this is solid.

The oolong is the one

Oolong is the one I reach for and this is the best I've found from a UK seller. The leaves unfurl beautifully and the flavour lasts through several steepings. I know my way around oolong so I was ready to be disappointed, but it's the real deal. Ordering was straightforward and it arrived quickly.

The chai

Got the chai blend and it's proper spicy, not the sugary stuff you get in cafés. Mixes well with milk. Only gripe is the sachets were a bit fiddly to open. Other than that it's good stuff and arrived fine.

The tin is massive for the money

The first thing I clocked was the size of the tin, it's a proper big one and lasts ages. Works out much less per cup than what I was paying before. Tea is good and strong, I make it every morning. Nothing else to report really.
