How should I store your tea?
Wherever possible we use vacuum, gas packing and cold storage for our teas to ensure that they arrive with you as fresh as possible. All tea should be kept away from heat, light, moisture and odours. Exposure to these will cause the tea to deteriorate and lose flavour. Our loose teas are packed in resealable ziplock bags so we recommend that you reseal all your bags once you have used them and store them in a cool dry place.Generally speaking, black teas and more heavily oxidized oolongs can be stored for a longer time than green, white and lightly oxidized oolong teas. Green teas, white teas and light oolong teas are best drunk within two to three months of opening.
However, they can also be stored in the fridge to maintain freshness for as long as possible. If you choose to store your green, white and light oolongs in the fridge, be careful to take the packs out a little in advance of making your tea so that they can reach room temperature. Opening a bag straight from the fridge will result in condensation on the inside of the pack, which when closed can then affect the quality of the tea inside.
Pricing and Currency
Can I place orders in different currencies?
All orders on our website's checkout are processed in GBP. In addition, we use a third-party service, called Global-E, for over 100 international shipping destinations. When using this service, you are able to see the equivalent pricing in various different currencies.Out of Stock
What do I do if an item I want to order is out of stock?
We do regular stock checks to ensure that we maintain correct stock information on the site. If an item that you would like to order seems to be out of stock by mistake please let us know by calling +44 (0)207 183 2113. We will then check the stock level of this product and let you know whether the item is available for purchase.If the item is available then we will put the item back into stock on the website while you are speaking to us and let you know how to add the product to your basket.
Some of the teas we buy are extremely rare and are only ever available in extremely limited quantities. Where this is the case, once we run out of stock, we are unable to source a replacement until the next season in which that tea produced. For these teas we recommend signing up to our newsletter to receive the latest news on rare tea launches.
