Their chamomile tea, or is it a potpourri? - consists solely of dried flower heads, and it lacks any Starmereque sleep inducing qualities. I also bought a pack of redbush, which is meant to taste smok... See more

First time ordering and trying their tea. Ordered a range of individual tea envelopes totalling 11 tea bags to use in gift bags. Instead, they sent me 5 CASES (250 individually wrapped teabags)... See more


Company details

  1. Coffee Store

Written by the company

Back in 2006 the world of whole-leaf tea was boring, stuffy and outdated. Meanwhile, cool things were happening in the world of coffee. We saw the opportunity to get everyone drinking real tea again! And by real we mean big leaf and big on flavour. So, in November 2006 teapigs was born. Our mission today is the same as it was back in 2006: to get everyone drinking top quality, whole-leaf, great tasting tea - and to do business a bit differently while we're at it. All natural. No nasties. BIG leaf = BIG flavour. Simple!

Going well online.

My online journey with TeaPigs is going great! Access to more tea's, I very much appreciate the extra surprise in my delivery this month too! THANK YOU!

I switched from Pukka, and the difference is huge! TeaPigs is superior in every way, from the quality of the temples to actually putting real tea buds in, and not the dust so often found with others.

Do I feel the little bit of string is necessary? No, I chop them off! Perhaps an idea for larger packs would be without the little strings, but I understand all the other competing brands have little strings too so it must be the majority of customers preference.

10/10 for TeaPigs, I previously found customer services really helpful and engaging, and this month received a little treat in my parcel, visiting friends have noticed the huge difference too and two of my friends have also moved from Pukka to TeaPigs....

It's the way to go! And try the Makuna Honey one's, they are AWESOME!!! (And Caffeine Free)

Resolved my issue

Two of my tea bags broke open and I reached out to the Teapigs team to see if I was being too rough or perhaps got an odd batch. Kira responded to my email very quickly and was very helpful I sent her the pack details and the team sent me a replacement, great tea and even better customer service, thanks Kira!

£9 in tesco per box so I waited for the club card price to kick in.After 2 weeks it did ,down to £7 per box .These were hardly flying off the shelf ,but being a tea addict needed to try
I made a cup first using 1 bag and 4.5min brewing with 1 sugar and then after a pot with 3 to 10 mins brewing.
My finds were PG gold are still unbeatable compared to this trendy crap ,for the price and taste I'd rather have aldi basic brand .
Not worth 3 quid let alone 9

Fantastic tea let down by expensive delivery and long order completion - 7 days to seems crazy when there's plenty of businesses offering free next day delivery.

Also, subscription not fulfilled due to no stock. I assume this is because of a recent sale but surely a stock management system should recognise what should be held on subscription and what shouldn't.

Just a bit disappointing as the tea is amazing.

Disappointed as I ended up paying £4 for postage after the discount was applied for an order over £25. Also I’ve just seen Waitrose have a discount on the same box at £7.30 against your discounted price of £12. My mistake I should have checked first. I won’t order direct again.

teapigs - yes, a pig of a service

I ordered some tea over 10 days ago - nothing received from them, and zero response from Teapigs to my questions on their website as to what's happening with the order, they have also disabled the info @ teapigs email address, which sounds ominous - you now can only contact them via their website... of course they don't provide a telephone number - very shoddy

Easy website to use

Easy website to use - and a discount offer!
Delivered within a week with just the right amount of packaging. I haven’t used them yet but I know from experience that the quality of Teapigs is excellent.

Please cancel this month’s subscription because I’ve already had to buy sime

You’ve assumed that I’ll pay for this next subscription when I told you not to this month (just yesterday by reply e mail) that I’d already had to buy on line on the Tea Pigs website on 5th June x4 boxes of 15 tea bags which cost me £25. So, I said please don’t send me more in the subscription because I’ve already had to go on line and do that myself. I wish you had suggested that 2/3 months ago when you could not secure the 50 teabag box to send out. Eventually I heard that this was down to an ingredient issue. My daughter has had trouble getting them too. I’m disappointed of the lack of communication from yourselves and how difficult it is to contact yourselves. I could have done with being able to speak with someone. Could you please cancel the subscription that you have just put through that I asked you to do yesterday by reply e mail? My number is 07800 69926 if someone could please call me.

They try to put the wrongs right

I gave Teapigs 1 star but they did right their wrong so I’m adjusting my rating to 3. They did get in touch and offered my order for free for the inconvenience caused. I was hoping for the postage costs to be compensated as the order took longer than stated but they actually compensated me for the whole order. It’s only fair to let people know when companies try hard to put things that go wrong right and teapigs did that.

Too slow

Ordered late Thursday evening. Not ready for dispatch till late Tuesday afternoon. Royal Mail didn’t log it as collected till Thursday and trying to deliver Friday or Saturday. In this modern world that’s too long. 6-7 working days to pick and deliver 45 tea bags.

Becoming far too expensive

We are longstanding customers of Teapigs, buying primarily in supermarkets and occasionally directly. Their peppermint tea is a household favourite and has been for many years. I have received an email from Teapigs today advising of price increases. Quite simply, I will not pay anymore for these teabags, as lovely as they are. Not that long ago, I could get 50 bags for around £10. The price has been creeping up and is now c£13.50. I dread to think what it will be after a price increase they have forewarned of. I'm afraid I will be trying other brands going forwards to find a new favourite.

What’s happened?

What’s happened?! Teapigs used to fulfil orders completely & promptly with a great customer service … now there’s always items missing from our subscription & we’re never informed before dispatch, products are regularly out of stock (supply issues?) & they can’t be bothered to respond to customer enquiries! They supply a pricey product & need to up their game!

Something has gone wrong with this company

I’ve had a regular subscription for several years & was very happy with the product and the deliveries. Something has gone off the rails. Repeated bank alerts that payment has been taken & then reversed straightaway. Message on my account page to contact them re payment - but my credit card hasn’t changed and no one answering my email via their website. A bit concerning. Am going to cancel my subscription.

Good product, bad service

Order placed on 6 May. Delivery time was stated as 3-7 working days. It is now 23rd May and the order hasn’t arrived. Several days ago I emailed Teapigs using the contact form on the website, but haven’t received a reply.

Update: Order finally arrived on 31st May. No apology or explanation from Teapigs regarding the delay.

I have tried to contact this company by phone and email a number of times about non delivery of an order that they have taken payment for and have not been able to get a response! Really poor service and I suspect they may no longer be trading?
