Great value compared to competition

Ordered a mixed selection of black teas to try as the prices where consistent, arrived a few days later nicely packaged. Seems like decent quality loose leaf so see how they taste now. Just tried the Ceylon orange pekoe absolutely superb.

Excellent fast service as usual

Excellent fast service as usual. I love the Nilgiri tea ‘ it’s nice to ring the changes. A gentle black tea. Trying hibiscus tea as I had a great cup at a festival recently.

Great tea

Great tea. I buy tea for my daughter and myself and we love your teas and the lovely cups with strainers and lids which make a perfect individual brew of choice. Easy to order online and prompt delivery with no unnecessary plastic packaging.

Reply from The Proper Tea Co

We're really sorry about this error. The order is a genuine order from one of our customers who had obviously mistyped their actual email address and inadvertently the resulting address is yours.
All their other details will have been correct as the order was paid for and delivered. Unfortunately the email address given for an order is then automatically contacted by Trustpilot a few weeks later to prompt a review - which we now see must have happened to you. We are really sorry for any upset this may have caused you but hope you can see that it is an error not of our making but simply a genuine slip of fingers on a keyboard by one of our customers. We will ensure your email address is removed from our system.

I can only recommend The Proper Tea Co

I can only recommend The Proper Tea Co. for an excellent loose leaf Earl Grey. Fantastic taste.
I was given a packet of tea as a present. Now I treat myself to the Earl Grey and enjoy it daily. I even purchased a colourful mug and infuser. The icing on the cake!
