Basilar teas are just the best flavor…

Basilar teas are just the best flavor experience we've ever had. Presentation is outstanding in collectable containers. Supermarket teas are incomparable to the Basilur experience. Every now and then we switch just so we come back to Basilur and re experience the flavor.

I love the tea

I love the tea. Basilur is the best tasting tea I have ever had. My granddaughter introduced me to it when I visited her in England. I have it shipped to me now in USA. The company is reliable and generous, I always get samples. When I first started ordering they had refill containers and I didn't have to pay extra for the tins. But had to pay shipping now I don't pay shipping but don't have refills in my favorite blends, so it works out. They are fast in their delivery as well. Love my Basilur, first good tea since the Boston Tea Party lol!

I bought the Sweet Cherry tea from the C.N.E and i loved it. They are no longer there so I have been looking for them for years now. I finally found their website. The tea tastes amazing. Delicious without cream or sugar and has a real cherry taste.

Christmas surprise

Hi! I ordered different teas as Christmas gifts for my family members, and I was very happy to find the exact tea they love—Captain's Tea. I’m also pleased that I received the packages before the celebrations. Everything was well-packed.

Scammers

On January 5, I was informed by email that my order was canceled (because there is no delivery to my country) and I will be refunded my money. After 10 days, the money has not arrived on the bank card. The store's email doesn't answer me.

Damaged/missing and no way to contact them

I've loved this tea for years now when I ordered it through Amazon, but now I don't know how I feel about them. I just received an order today, that was supposed to be a gift, from this company and it arrived missing a large chunk of tea.The box inside the packaging was broken and very obviously was missing tea bags before it was packed as the tea bags weren't loose in the outside packaging. When I tried to email them, it bounced back as a non-existent email several times. Same with their online form. The number provided on their website was answered by some random person and does not seem to be a professional/business number. The address and phone number are also being used on another company's website titled "Tipson" tea. I don't know who is running the Basilur Tea website now, but this is incredibly unprofessional at the least, and scammy at the most.

Update: They replied with a complete lie, and apparently did not read my actual review? My order was directly through their website, not Amazon. I contacted them in response to the email they sent when I placed the order... from their website. The email bounced back every single time. Extremely shady.

Dear Chris,

First and foremost, we want to extend our sincerest apologies for the frustration and inconvenience you've experienced with your recent order. At Basilur Tea, we pride ourselves on exceptional quality and service, and it's clear that in this instance, we fell short of these standards.

We deeply appreciate your loyalty and the fact that you chose Basilur Tea for a special gift makes your experience even more disappointing for us. We understand how crucial trust is in our relationship with you, our valued customer, and we are committed to restoring that trust.

Upon thorough investigation of your complaint, it appears that your order was placed through a seller on Amazon and not directly from our official website. This is a crucial distinction because products sold through external channels like Amazon are not always sourced from our certified supply. This means we have limited control over the quality and handling of products sold by third-party vendors.

We would like to make things right by guiding you towards our official website, www.basilurtea.com, where you can be assured of receiving the premium quality and service that Basilur Tea is known for. Additionally, we are taking immediate steps to address the confusion regarding contact information and affiliations with other brands.

In closing, we thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us maintain the high standards that Basilur Tea is committed to. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again and to provide the exceptional experience that you, and all our customers, deserve.

Thank you,
The Basilur Team
