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
This 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. Should you wish to try any of our teas just order our loose tea samples.
Delivery options
For delivery our standard shipping is second class post unless you choose an alternative option such as first class post or courier. Free UK shipping is available for orders over £30 and free first class post can be chosen for orders over £50.
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.
A guide to our tea
At the checkout you may choose to receive a free, full-colour, eight-page guide to our tea. For more information about buying our loose leaf teas see our page How to Buy the Best Loose Leaf Tea.

Tea samples provide a welcome opportunity to try new teas without committing to a full pack.
This tea was a delight. An array of taste notes, but remaining bright and refreshing throughout. Recommended – would certainly try again.

Nuwara Eliya Court Lodge OP1 Ceylon .On the first brewing I used one silicone reusable teabag and brewed for about 5 minutes and added a little milk but I could not taste very much at all. My second attempt I used 2 silicone tea bags and dunked them constantly for about 6 minutes before adding a little milk and a little honey. It was very tasty and distinctive Nuwara Eliya Court Lodge [lover’s leap] taste but both bags were filled 80 per cent with this medium-size leaf so cost effectively it took more tea leaves. This tea could also be recommended without milk with the aforesaid brewing instructions.

Product: I really am enjoying the Silver Needles and look forward to purchasing more. I also am enjoying the jasmine tea and love the fragrance of it.
Service: The website is impressive and easy to use with a good selection of teas. I am pleased with the service and with the size of the samples. If I were to suggest an area for improvement it would be the tins or labels.

This is such a brilliant way to try new teas. Many places allow you to purchase tea variety packs, but they don’t always let you choose which ones you receive. I’ve found several amazing white, green and black teas using these samples.

B.S.Mason –
Product: These were ordered not only for myself but to share with friends. reason for mark is explained above.
Service: My first contact was by telephone, the staff povided excellent assistance. Their shipping however lets them down.
Vendor response: Your order placed on 30.12.14 was despatched to France on 2.1.15. We note your comments made on 10.1.15 however there is undoubtedly much mail in the system from the festive season so overseas delivery may well be somewhat slower than would be expected.
