Chai tastes weak, doesn't have correct flavour profile. I'm impressed by the plant based tea bags, as usually being a coffee drinker the last thing I want is microplastics in my cuppa. 'Ethical'... See more

Company details

  1. Coffee Store

Written by the company

Back in 2006 the world of whole-leaf tea was boring, stuffy and outdated. Meanwhile, cool things were happening in the world of coffee. We saw the opportunity to get everyone drinking real tea again! And by real we mean big leaf and big on flavour. So, in November 2006 teapigs was born. Our mission today is the same as it was back in 2006: to get everyone drinking top quality, whole-leaf, great tasting tea - and to do business a bit differently while we're at it. All natural. No nasties. BIG leaf = BIG flavour. Simple!

I cannot find the right words to say…

I cannot find the right words to say how amazing the Tea Pigs team, especially Hamid in Customer service have been. My wife drinks a lot of Mao Feng green tea and her clients like it too, we have quite a range of Tea Pigs teas.
I normally place the orders and never have a problem, however a couple of weeks ago I placed an order for the wrong tea, peppermint! Big mistake on my behalf. When the Tea pigs arrived I realised my mistake and contacted customer service, I managed to return the peppermint tea with Hamid’s help same day via the post office and then Hamid replaced the Mao Feng. Absolutely seamless from start to finish, not just the best tea company in the UK, but the best products and by the far the best service and pricing. Thank you!!

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service. I forgot to add a gift note, and the guy I emailed chased my parcel and added the note before it left the warehouse. So kind.

Superb customer service

Superb customer service. I had an issue with some tea bags splitting and was contacted very promptly and a replacement pack provided. It's a great product, well worth paying a little more than a supermarket own brand.

Great Customer Service

I purchased a box of 50 Chia and found an issue, with that I made contact via email and had a response within the hour (Earl).

Within 48 I had received a replacement box and thankfully enjoying the lovely taste and products.

I'm a very happy customer.

Earl grey has gone very weak

My partner and I are so distraught. Have been drinking your earl grey (the normal one with the Dachshund on the packaging) for years. Even shuttled it over to the Netherlands when my partner was working there.

But for two packs now we have found the tea is very very weak. With one teabag per mug and letting it brew for 5 minutes, it should be nice and strong. But it’s totally watery.

Did you change the composition or could this just be bad luck on our side?

Where's the flavour?

Their chamomile tea, or is it a potpourri? - consists solely of dried flower heads, and it lacks any Starmereque sleep inducing qualities. I also bought a pack of redbush, which is meant to taste smokey, but instead it tastes of hot water and something vaguely herbaceous. A major selling point for me was the lack of microplastics in this product, but the teapigs aren't suitable for domestic compost heaps (read the green-washy small print if you really want to doze off). Instead, it is suggested that we should use a municipal waste disposal service, because we've all got the time and 'wonga' to buy enough teapigs to fill a large skip. My quest for good tea shall continue elsewhere.

Wrong order sent as gift

I ordered a gift box of six herbal teas to be sent to someone. Instead, Teapigs sent four boxes of tea and no gift box, which looks like quite an odd present. It's really disappointing, as I now have to contact the recipient to explain why they are receiving a slightly odd gift. The order included a gift card, so I cannot understand why Teapigs decided to cancel the gift box and just send four boxes of tea.

Hi A Naidu,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback!

I’ve reached out to you privately since we’ve previously connected through the customer service portal. I just wanted to clarify that the reason your gift box included 4 teas and the gift message is because two teas were removed from your original selection. This change wasn’t made on our end, but through the order editing app provided after checkout when the order was placed by yourself.

I have already processed a refund for the difference so you weren’t charged for more than what you received.

Apologies for any misunderstanding,
Best,
KM
