Tea from Grey's Teas

Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

Ceylon Uva Pettiagalla tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This loose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!

Packing options

There are generally several packing options to choose from. These are 60 grams, 125 grams and 250 grams, the default being 125 grams in a packet. Our silver-coloured packets are a triple laminate of paper, foil and cellophane, specifically designed for tea. Alternatively, you can select a tin caddy for your tea. These square, silver coloured caddies have hinged lids. Again, 60 gram, 125 gram and 250 gram options are generally available as options which can be selected from the drop-down list. Packets and caddies have full-colour labels.

Storing your tea

Store your tea with care by ensuring it is stored air-tight, away from heat, light, moisture and strong aromas. Our standard best-before period is one year from packing and all teas are packed to order.

  11. Rose M J Fulton –

    Product: I gave it as a gift so do not yet know the outcome. I have asked for their feedback.
    Service: To date, perhaps I’m making ‘poor’ choices but on the whole I’ve not found the teas I’ve purchased have been on the button. They often feel tired. I’m sorry, but that’s how I feel.
    Vendor response: This Assam is a favourite amongst several of our customers. It is a great malty tea and we have never received comment of flatness or lack of flavour but we are however concerned by your experience. We would be happy to exchange it for an alternative tea. Please ensure that you are using freshly drawn and boiled water; filtered if your water is hard. This can make a significant difference to the taste of your teas.

  12. Dr David F Morgan –

    Product: Tea will be excellent. However the tin of tea being used as part of a wedding present did arrive with a dented case which will somewhat detract from the presentation. A pity.
    Service: Always excellent tea quality.
    Vendor response: I am sorry to hear of the damage to the tin. We do take care to double protect tins when packing but we cannot guarantee that damage will not occasionally occur in transit. We would however be happy to send you a new tin.
