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... See more

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Back in 2006 the world of whole-leaf tea was boring, stuffy and outdated.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!

I love your tea but many bags a broken or have small holes in and leaves leak into the cup. This was problematic with your happy tea as all the bags were defective.Also on my last delivery, some of the camomile bags also leaked leaves. It's a shame but not the end of the world. Ive ordered more camomile (it's wonderful tea) so hoping for a better result!

Disappointing

I loved Teapigs. Until I ordered 90 Happy and 21 of them were completely broken. No response from the company following my contacting them. Gutted because I won’t be ordering again. The odd bag is one thing but there’s clearly a quality control issue here…not to mention the lack of customer service.

Hi Karysha,

I'm sorry to hear about your Happy teas splitting. I checked and saw that you emailed us on Monday evening. We responded the next morning on Tuesday, asking for the batch information from the back of the packaging and offering to send a replacement. However, we have not received a reply from you yet, so unfortunately, we haven't been able to resolve the issue. Please double-check your junk folder in case our email got lost there.

Thanks, Sophie

Redbush? Not my cup of tea.

This is my first order from teapigs.
After experiencing my first taste in a London hotel, I asked the staff "where I can get my hands on this great tasting tea?"
My order turned up today, right on schedule.
However.... After taking advice from the waiter to try the chocolate flake tea, unfortunately i received Redbush. Just a little upset 😢

Loose Leaf Strong Earl Grey

This Earl Grey tea is simply the best. No powder, no oily residue, wonderful flavour. I drink it every single morning in life and couldn’t live without it now.

Utterly ignoring emails and voicemails

Love this tea. Got subscription.
Emailed a good few days before latest subscription due to ship to say please don't send it, we still have loads. email ignored. I emailed again in response to their "nearly ready to ship" email. Ignored again. Emailed a 3rd time after it shipped to say we don't want it this time, no reply to that either. I've left them I think 4 or 5 phone messages now over a few weeks, all with my phone number. Nobody has called me. Whats happened tea pigs?!

Lovely company who sell great tea

Lovely company who sell great loose leaf tea. We were looking for mint tea for ages to go in our tea pot, and most places only sold green and mint tea, so we were very pleased to find this tea as it is delicious. It was also extremely quick to order as all the details were taken in one page using Apple Pay. Will definitely continue to order from you, thank you!

Outstanding service!!!!
I contacted the customer service team to express my thorough pleasure with using their green teas and made one small suggestion regarding the packaging due to having some teabags tear during the openingproceas. I was given not only really useful information that I hadn't previously known about the product but also sent out a substantial amount of tea for free. This was such a kind gesture. Very very happy customer.
