I ordered tea from English Tea for the first time. The tea had good reviews. While I knew it wasn't going to be overnight, it took over a week before the tea was even shipped, then another week for it to arrive. There was no communication from the store. Plenty of ads trying to sell me more tea, but nothing about the tea I bought and had yet to taste. I'll be looking for something local when this tea is used up.

Incredible Service Offered
January 24, 2026

Appreciative of the length they go to provide these goods. Price is beyond reasonable in this day & age considering the circumstances of the niche demographic they're catering to. Always looking forward to my next order. Thank you so much.

Life long obsession with tea
January 23, 2026

I have loved and used twining tea all my life. I have started my day with Earl grey and still do! Twining had great varieties of tea and the stores around here dont have nearly enough twining tea
The new tea is fabulous and was so worth mail ordering it!

Best Assam tea
January 31, 2026

Organic Assam Gold TGFOP is top quality for a very decent price. We order in bulk 5 lb that last about six months. The best comes out when we make the tea in William Sonoma 1.5 qrt sauce pan. Brew 5 minutes.

Packaging
January 30, 2026

Love the way you packed the items. Others just put everything in the box with no care so everything is either broken or (chocolate) stuck together. Thank you for the care you put into the order I will order from you again.

Information on website is not clear
January 30, 2026

I initially placed an order because I thought that I was going to receive free shipping. I did not receive that. I understand why you did not give me free shipping, but the information is not clearly stated on your website.

Excellent packaging and tasty teas
January 24, 2026

I was pleased that the teas I ordered arrived packaged well both in their individual pouches and box and in the overall delivery package. I was delighted with the tastes of the 4 teas I had ordered as well, especially withe the Russian Caravan which I hadn't been able to find elsewhere. The teas are flavorful for my morning cuppa as well as tea breaks later in the day, whether it's the tiramisu blend or the Earl Grey.

Great service and shipping

English Tea Store expertly shipped the tea we ordered and also the infusers. They let us know that the infusers were backordered, but they still arrived. Thank you.

Good customer service
January 23, 2026

I placed an order sometime in December. I did not receive my tea and a nice lady contacted me to tell me there was only a street address and no house number. She re-issued the package. Shipping did seem to be a bit delayed but I did receive my product and the lady was very nice.

Poor packing!
January 23, 2026

My package arrived with two items irreparably damaged. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the ruined materials so they will not be replaced. It is no surprise that a jar of marmalade broke, only surprising that some didn't. It was the worst job of packing I have ever seen.

Always great service
January 23, 2026

Order was here--regular shipping I believe in less than a week. Very happy with this company and the variety of choices.
Only wish some of the teas came in larger quantities. Like PG Tips does... something to perhaps pass on to the Yorkshire tea LOL.
Anyway, great service and shipping experience

It's a bit cheaper than ordering good tea from a famous English provider (shipping increasingly an issue with tariffs) and the quality seems to be excellent. The service could not be better.

I love the fact that there are Irish products. Deciding what to purchase was hard because everything looked so good but I was able to order effortlessly and shipping was quick.

Love the fact they sell sample sizes
January 19, 2026

I got a new teapot for Christmas, but I don't have any stores around where I live that have decent selections for loose tea. I liked the fact that this site has a wide selection of loose teas and has sample sizes.

No go - bad customer service
January 16, 2026

I ordered a specific lime green "modern" 14-oz teapot and along with this gift was to be some sample teas and honey sticks. These items were just components of a larger gift to my stepdaughter but the teapot was the "star." I was not told that the teapot had been discontinued when I inquired as to the lack of arrival. I tried to cancel the order when I learned of the discontinuance, however, was told that I couldn't do that because the order w/o the teapot had already been shipped. I was given a refund for the teapot. I don't plan to do business with the English Tea Store in future.
