My go to gift for 2023
Bought a gift set for my cousin after a suggestion from my daughter about how she enjoyed loose leaf tea. I bought the afternoon tea set and added a jade diffuser teapot. The teapot is such a lovely colour and hopefully will brighten her day. The whole thing arrived quickly, beautifully and safely packaged (with room for a packet of biscuits) ready to send on. I will definitely buy again. This might be my go to present this year

Great tasting tea blends
I love the herbal tea blends - very tasty! And the quality of the products are great. Even my 8 year old son enjoys them so much he's always stealing my cup of tea!

This time I tried the decaff tea blend
This time I tried the decaff tea blend. It's delicious. Far more flavour than any teabags I've from supermarkets.
A real treat and in no way feels like a compromise. Will definitely buy again.
It arrived quickly and is in a responsible stay fresh package.

Fantastic (proper) teas
This is the second time I have bought The Proper Tea Co. I started with the Turmeric Spiced Gold tea. It was delicious. No nasty artificial additives. Just the right mix and tea and spices. Am now on a mission to try them all.

Beautifully designed product and good service
Product arrived much faster than I expected. I bought two of the individual tea cups with a strainer and they are lovely. The red one was rather a different colour than it looked on the website, but I realise it's hard to show colours accurately.
