When considering some of our rarer and more expensive teas you may wish to receive samples first. We will send you a sample of your choice. These are 10 grams in weight, enough to make a large four-cup teapot, except for the very bulkiest teas which are 5 grams. Please choose how many samples you would like in the drop-down and then list them in the order notes field. See also our Loose Leaf Tea Sampler gift product.

Good value way of tasting unusual teas. “I have bought a few different tea samples and was pleased there is enough for a few cups to make your mind up. Great idea.”
Great way to taste teas and make up your mind “It’s a great price/value deal to try out different teas, choose the ones you like and order a bigger quantity afterwards. They come nicely packed with a Tea Aid Memoire included to write down your impression and experience of these teas.”
Such a delicate and refined green tea “I’m using your sampling mechanism to taste your range of green teas – I’m not an expert.”

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.

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.

    Product: Bought a few as a gift but they haven’t been tried as yet. Smell lovely though.

  9. 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.

    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.

    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.

    This tea was a delight. An array of taste notes, but remaining bright and refreshing throughout. Recommended – would certainly try again.
