    Order not received

    Very disappointed. Ordered a set at the beginning of the month, while confirming my order I got a message that it would be dispatched within 5 working days. Paid extra for the fast delivery.

    To this day, Royal Mail site says that they are waiting for the parcel to be delivered to them. Emailed the company a week ago and still no response.

    Thank you for taking the time to rate and review our services.
    We have taken a look into this for you and it looks as if the parcel was lost in transit and a replacement has been reshipped.
    Our team have been out of the office between December 22nd and January 2nd for the festive season however we do hope that the resolution was dealt with promptly upon our return.
    We do our best to get orders out to customers in record time however on the odd occasion, parcels do get lost in transit.
    Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
    Best regards

    Perfect!

    Incredibly happy with my starter kit. Beautifully packaged can’t wait to start my experience with loose tea. This will also make a lovely gift for my fellow tea drinking family.
