Company details

  1. Coffee Store

Written by the company

Back in 2006 the world of whole-leaf tea was boring, stuffy and outdated. Meanwhile, cool things were happening in the world of coffee. We saw the opportunity to get everyone drinking real tea again! And by real we mean big leaf and big on flavour. So, in November 2006 teapigs was born. Our mission today is the same as it was back in 2006: to get everyone drinking top quality, whole-leaf, great tasting tea - and to do business a bit differently while we're at it. All natural. No nasties. BIG leaf = BIG flavour. Simple!

Where's the flavour?

Their chamomile tea, or is it a potpourri? - consists solely of dried flower heads, and it lacks any Starmereque sleep inducing qualities. I also bought a pack of redbush, which is meant to taste smokey, but instead it tastes of hot water and something vaguely herbaceous. A major selling point for me was the lack of microplastics in this product, but the teapigs aren't suitable for domestic compost heaps (read the green-washy small print if you really want to doze off). Instead, it is suggested that we should use a municipal waste disposal service, because we've all got the time and 'wonga' to buy enough teapigs to fill a large skip. My quest for good tea shall continue elsewhere.

Wrong order sent as gift

I ordered a gift box of six herbal teas to be sent to someone. Instead, Teapigs sent four boxes of tea and no gift box, which looks like quite an odd present. It's really disappointing, as I now have to contact the recipient to explain why they are receiving a slightly odd gift. The order included a gift card, so I cannot understand why Teapigs decided to cancel the gift box and just send four boxes of tea.

Hi A Naidu,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback!

I’ve reached out to you privately since we’ve previously connected through the customer service portal. I just wanted to clarify that the reason your gift box included 4 teas and the gift message is because two teas were removed from your original selection. This change wasn’t made on our end, but through the order editing app provided after checkout when the order was placed by yourself.

I have already processed a refund for the difference so you weren’t charged for more than what you received.

Apologies for any misunderstanding,
Best,
KM

Teapigs great but very poor delivery experience

The delivery was really poor. I was wondering where the tea was and checked the tracking link for Royal Mail. It said that they had delivered to "my safe space" as I was out on 3/12/25, 2 days ago. I went around to find a soggy box left out in the open for 2 often wet days. I had a covered box for parcels right next to the door which various couriers have used with no problem. There was no note left to indicate where it was. The tea is now cold, wet and probably ruined. Update: Teapigs Customer Services sent me a replacement pack and dealt with the situation very well. Clearly the fault was entirely with the Royal Mail courier.

HI Stephen,

Thank for your review!

I know we spoke via the Customer service tickets and we managed to resolve the issue. I am really sorry that Royal Mail left your parcel in the sopping rain. Definitely not ideal but you received a lovely dry replacement!

Chai tastes weak

Chai tastes weak, doesn't have correct flavour profile. I'm impressed by the plant based tea bags, as usually being a coffee drinker the last thing I want is microplastics in my cuppa.

'Ethical' is meaningless advertising jargon because it's a comparative adjective not a noun.

I'm not Indian, but I have spent over a year living in India and Nepal, but to me the flavour profile of their chai doesn't seem like anything I've ever tried, likely they didn't include enough tea and maybe missed out a more expensive spice or two. Also shows what a race to the bottom the 'taste' awards are becoming.

Tea with microplastic

Wish your business well and happy to delete this review when make changes, but selling tea in the plastic bag in the modern world is simply unacceptable. Do you understand that we breath with microplastic everyday because people where polyester. You also want us to drink it in large quantities? Tea quality is great, but how healthy it could be with micro-plastic?

Excellent service from Teapigs. Postman delivered order to the wrong address. Teapigs kindly sent a replacement order that has been safely received. Thank you!

Excellent service and tea!

Absolutely fantastic service ordered Wednesday morning and it came Thursday! I ordered a personalised selection box it's brilliant quality and the teas I tried that I ordered for myself are so good. Yes it's a bit more expensive but I have them as a treat and they are worth the money

Sent the wrong tea in large quantity

First time ordering and trying their tea. Ordered a range of individual tea envelopes totalling 11 tea bags to use in gift bags. Instead, they sent me 5 CASES (250 individually wrapped teabags) in 2 flavours. 1 of the flavours was past it's best before date, so that's 2 cases that can't be used. The others are dated for March 2026.

I emailed the team to explain the error and requested them to send my original order, and offered to send back the unopened cases. They responded with a very basic reply about returns and refunds, not addressing my request for them to send my original order. The AI auto-response that acknowledged my support email was more personal than the actual support team's response.

I'm going to see if the local foodbank or a community cafe would like the 2 unopened, in date cases. Thankfully I wasn't charged for them. I just don't understand how the packing team messed up like this.

Going well online.

My online journey with TeaPigs is going great! Access to more tea's, I very much appreciate the extra surprise in my delivery this month too! THANK YOU!

I switched from Pukka, and the difference is huge! TeaPigs is superior in every way, from the quality of the temples to actually putting real tea buds in, and not the dust so often found with others.

Do I feel the little bit of string is necessary? No, I chop them off! Perhaps an idea for larger packs would be without the little strings, but I understand all the other competing brands have little strings too so it must be the majority of customers preference.

10/10 for TeaPigs, I previously found customer services really helpful and engaging, and this month received a little treat in my parcel, visiting friends have noticed the huge difference too and two of my friends have also moved from Pukka to TeaPigs....

It's the way to go! And try the Makuna Honey one's, they are AWESOME!!! (And Caffeine Free)

Two of my tea bags broke open and I reached out to the Teapigs team to see if I was being too rough or perhaps got an odd batch. Kira responded to my email very quickly and was very helpful I sent her the pack details and the team sent me a replacement, great tea and even better customer service, thanks Kira!
