Quality tea and reliable delivery
I get my favourite tea, Russian Caravan, from here, sometimes at Tonbridge Farmer's market and sometimes from the shop online. They also do excellent fruit and herbal teas from real dried fruits and herbs, so it looks pretty as well as tasting and smelling lovely.
This year I've bought packets of different tea as Xmas gifts for friends and they arrived very quickly. I highly recommend.

Great value compared to competition
Ordered a mixed selection of black teas to try as the prices where consistent, arrived a few days later nicely packaged. Seems like decent quality loose leaf so see how they taste now. Just tried the Ceylon orange pekoe absolutely superb.

Excellent fast service as usual
Excellent fast service as usual. I love the Nilgiri tea ‘ it’s nice to ring the changes. A gentle black tea. Trying hibiscus tea as I had a great cup at a festival recently.
