Fine flavourful tea. Breakfast tea is very good. Afternoon tea not as strong but still nice. Lifeboat tea is my favourite. Nice tasting and strong plus we are supporting the RNLI

Excellent customer service

Placed an order and one of the tea caddies was dented heavily on the lid. Box the orders came in was fine, so must have happened when packing. Contacted company with photo proof and they sorted me out super fast. Replacement came in perfect condition.

So, first time buying and wife and I are both impressed with the service.

Purchased before Tea caddy was dented

Purchased before Tea caddy was dented. This time no dents as they must have noted my review and wrapped each Tea caddy with bubble wrap tightly. They always throw in some small freebies. I always buy when there is a bogoff offer as I donate the tea bags, caddy tin and buy some additional treats (nice biscuits and cakes) to the local homeless hostel.

Lovely products

Lovely products. Unfortunately, there was a small problem with the order but the customer service was excellent and I was offered the choice between an alternative product or refund. I opted for a refund and they upgraded my order to next day delivery (due to the slight delay) at no extra cost.

Can't fulfil orders uselss

I placed an order on 3rd Oct. Today (12th) I got an email, saying 3 of the items I ordered I have been refunded for. Why did it take 8 days for them tk send the order ans after 8 days realise there was no thing to send. Absolutely ridiculous I think. For a company this should not have happened. The stock talker isn't doing their job amd unfortunately I am lost now because they didn't have the ideas I paid for and ordered. Absolutely disappointed and will never use them again.

Good products and quick shipping

Also got a bonus item, small, but it's always very nice to just get something. I appreciate it and am happy to purchase again. Not expensive and it's good quality tea.

Charged return

Received my order, didn't meet my expectations so I decided to return it. They had me pay for the return, and took ages to refund. When I chased did they then requested proof I'd returned the item. They then confirmed it had been received and processed the refund. Imagine if I'd have lost the receipt, they'd have kept the product, payment and I'd have paid for the privilege. Won't be using them again. Didn't find the agents particularly helpful as they didn't seem to care I wasn't happy with the items, I don't know maybe it happens a lot? Not sure they are fully compliant with distance marketing rules as I'm pretty sure as I didn't have opportunity to inspect the goods at point of purchase I shouldn't have had to pay for the return postage when I wasn't happy but what do I know. At no point did they provide a return address to make sure I was sending it to the right place either, I had to find it. Just hope this helps someone.

Great service from Newenglishteas

I received my Beatrix Potter tin,but unfortunately one of the tins had a dent in it.
I emailed the company straight away and within the hour I had a reply and a new tin is on the way at no extra cost,nor with me sending the dented tin back.
I must say how impressed I am with this service,which lets face it is unusual.
