Yes and we really encourage you to do so. Every tea has a sample option. For loose leaf teas, we try to include enough tea for around 6 - 8 cups of tea per sample. For pyramid tea bag samples, we include 4 pyramid tea bags in each sample.

Are your pyramid tea bags biodegradable?
Yes. The fine mesh used in our pyramid tea bags is 100% biodegradable made from plant based materials. You can find out more information in our Quality & Range page.
What base teas do you use for your flavoured teas?
We only use high quality, high grown teas as base teas throughout our range. Teas such as high quality black teas from Sri Lanka (we find Sri Lankan teas are particularly good as a base for flavoured black teas), premium grade Rooibos, Sencha style green teas, White teas etc.
What exactly are the natural flavourings you use in the teas?
All our natural flavoured oils are made from high quality organic materials - fruit or vegetable. We do not use any synthetic flavours or oils in our teas.
Which teas make great ice tea?
Most of our teas are suitable to make iced tea. The main thing to remember when making iced tea is to double the quantity of tea to the volume of water you would normally use.
Can I store tea in my freezer?
We would strongly suggest that tea should not be stored in a freezer because ice crystals would form on the tea leaves and these would melt during the thawing process and spoil the tea.
