I love Cornish Smugglar T bags not too strong but still a lovely colour when brewed and tastes like no other so glad I can order from you and receive them promptly.

Unlike with coffee, teabags decaffeinated by a non-solvent process are quite rare. Had previously used Clipper, but they skimp so much with the quantity of tea in the bags that I was using 2 per mug!... See more

Superb tasting tea and coffee. I bought a bag of the coffee while on holiday in Cornwall and now I have a subscription all year round. Great value, and the threshold for free delivery is quite easy to... See more

All delivered very quickly and all neat and tidy. Obviously can’t rate quality of items on this delivery as yet but historically all have been excellent

Very Short use by date

They arrived on the Saturday, with use by date of the next day, which is a bit disappointing, as I had ordered x6 cinnamon and x6 Nutella cruffins, so have to freeze them all.
On the plus side, I received x6 free Cornish tea bags in each box, plus free postage and a free mug. ( Bonus )
I love Cornish tea and drink it all the time, as and found it while I was living there for a while. I would buy them again but hopefully they will have a better use by date.

Reply from Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent order of our cinnamon and Nutella cruffins. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused by the use-by date discrepancy.

After investigating your concerns, we believe there may have been a labeling error. Rest assured, your cruffins were freshly made the day before dispatch, and they maintain their freshness for over a week when stored in an airtight container. Additionally, they can be enjoyed directly from the freezer by warming them through.

We understand the importance of providing accurate information to our customers, and we regret any confusion this may have caused. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are grateful for your understanding.

We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the complimentary Cornish tea bags and mug. We hope they added a touch of joy to your experience with us.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to serving you again soon. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

3weeks on order not received.

Placed order on 23rd Dec, told 28th Dec it was dispatched, but still waiting.
Chased for an update on my order, was told logistics firm had issue in my area and feel like Cornish Tea have washed their hands of the issue - gutted as love the product. If paying a considerable amount for postage there should be a delivery guarantee.
