Everything you need to know.

What UK retailers do you search for tea?

Fortnum & Mason, Rare Tea Co., Postcard Teas, Jing, Lalani & Co., and a range of independent tea specialists. We prioritise merchants who provide clear provenance and brewing guidance.

What's the difference between single estate and blended tea?

Single estate teas come from one specific garden and harvest — they have distinctive, sometimes seasonal character. Blended teas (like English Breakfast) are designed for consistency, combining leaves from multiple origins to hit a reliable flavour profile.

Do you cover herbal and fruit teas?

Yes. Herbal, fruit infusions, rooibos, and botanical blends all fall within our search. Just mention what you're after in your query.

What price range for specialty tea?

A good specialty loose-leaf tea typically runs £8–£25 per 50–100g. Gift tins and collections start around £20 and go up to £80+ for luxury hampers and rare single-estate lots.
