Prompt delivery of well packaged goods
The site advertised that any purchased products would not be processed until 23/5/22 so anyone purchasing goods was able to make a choice. I did buy and my mugs arrived on the 26th very well packaged with minimal plastic. Vey satisfied

I like this company
I like this company. Peter is very knowledgeable about tea: flavour, water temperature, brewing time etc. Pleased to be supporting a local business.
I gave four stars because I almost never give five (or 10, or 100%). No matter how good the service, there is usually room for improvement, no matter how small.
Regular customer.

First Time Buyer
We found the website very informative and ordered two packets of tea. We have tasted one and will try the second in the next few days. We were very pleased not only with the tea,but also the packaging, which is very convenient and has good storage properties with the seal able packet. Our order was delivered by Royal Mail in a couple of working days from placing the order. Will use Proper Tea Co again and tell our friends
