Let customers speak for us
from 51 reviewsVery good produce. The guy has incredible knowledge & is truly helpful with recommendations & sharing his knowledge. His teas are far superior to any others I have tried. I am a complete convert. Highly recommend!
I first purchased this around November 2024 at a pop up stand and have been hooked ever since! Incredible flavour to the tea and is a must for any peach lovers. Could not recommend enough!
lovely taste. Reliable. Prompt delivery
Don't usually like tea other than a breakfast one but this was really good! Citrus flavours are nice and not too strong!
Lovely tea, a good price and speedy delivery…happy me.
I have been using the Proper Tea Company for sometime and their service has been exemplary.
I have had various flavours of black tea from them and their taste and quality has been up to the standard I have been used to in 40 years of loose tea drinking.
This is a lovely light tea with a grassy aroma. Much the nicest white tea I have tried.
My wife has drunk this for breakfast every day for a number of years. Nothing beats it, so she tells me.
Gave this one star in error. Should be 5!
If, like me you can't have caffeine but love tea (not to mention it's health benefits), this loose leaf tea tastes so much nicer than tea bags. Also, for the environmentally conscious, by using one of Proper Tea's diffusers, the only waste is some used tea leaves.
Of all the teas I find, this is my favourite. A perfect afternoon treat. Robust enough to be a real refresher, with a complex, delicious flavour.
Very good quality tea, arrived quickly - perfect!
A good strong Assam ideal for the mornings, lovely golden colour and full bodied in flavour, proper tea company have the best deals as well as free postage. My number one choice for quality loose leaf tea.
This tea is great any time of day , full bodied blend great black or with milk.
One of the best Ceylon teas I’ve ever had, great for afternoon tea.
