Hello, Mr Woodruff

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that our Supreme Earl Grey is one of the best you have ever tasted.

We take great pride in sourcing the finest Ceylon black teas and blending them with vibrant blue cornflowers and subtle bergamot to create that distinct, aromatic citrus profile. It is wonderful to know that its rich yet delicate flavour hit the mark for you.

Thank you for recommending us, and we hope our Supreme Earl Grey continues to be your perfect go-to brew!

A Lovely Gift For My Daughter

I bought this tea as a gift. I haven't drunk any of it yet. Maybe the one receiving it will offer me a cup. I am pleased with the time from when I ordered it until I received it.

Hello, Steph

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you love our teas and that they keep you coming back.

We are truly sorry for the unexpected surprise with the increased fees on this order. International customs fees and import duties are unfortunately controlled entirely by local government authorities, so they can sometimes fluctuate without much warning.

We want every part of your experience with us to be wonderful, so we appreciate your understanding on this matter. Thank you again for being a valued customer, and we look forward to packing up your next favourite teas soon!

First time with company and Ali Shan tea

Presentation is good with it's own caddy which is nice. The tea is not as ready to be infused as some I've had, but it's flavour was delicious despite the wait. Perhaps try a different infuser next time.

Hello, Mrs Gillespie

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the delicious flavour profile of our Ali Shan Oolong and that you appreciated the presentation of the caddy.

Because our Ali Shan tea leaves are tightly rolled into pellets, traditional for high mountain Jin Xuan Oolongs, they do take a little extra time to slowly unfurl and release their full, buttery sweetness and apricot notes.

Your idea to experiment with a different infuser is spot on! For tightly rolled leaves, we highly recommend using a spacious infuser basket or a teapot, rather than a small tea ball. Giving the leaves plenty of room to expand allows the water to circulate freely, which should help speed up the infusion process and deliver that exquisite flavour even faster.

Thank you again for your review, and happy brewing!

Many Thanks,
The Tea Makers of London

Fabulous tea, impeccable service, easy to order. Who could ask for more?

Fabulous tea, impeccable service, easy to order...who could ask for more? Truly, some of the finest teas I've ever tasted. I was introduced to their teas at the Montague on the Park hotel in London. Their teas are authentic and delicious. I live in California and, after the disruption caused by the current usa government, am loving being able to get their tea again. Quick, easy order and 4 day delivery from the UK! Brilliant!
