Hard-to-find teas

Rare, discontinued and imported tea, the UK home.

This is the hard-to-find part of our catalogue: discontinued lines we still hold, lost classics we track down, and imported blends we bring in directly. Availability can be limited and some products sell out between restocks. If something here is out of stock, leave your email on the product and we will tell you when it returns. Free UK delivery over £35.

5 questions

Common questions

Do you really sell discontinued Tetley and Teapigs?

Yes. We hold remaining stock of discontinued Tetley and Teapigs lines, plus other lost classics, that the brands no longer make and supermarkets no longer carry. Quantities are finite, when a line is gone it is gone.

Why is some of this out of stock?

These lines can be discontinued, imported in small batches, or difficult to reorder. When a batch sells out there may be a wait until the next one. Every out-of-stock product has a one-click "email me when it is back" option on its page.

Why are rare teas priced higher?

Scarcity. Discontinued and single-source imported lines cost more to obtain and cannot be reordered like a supermarket staple. The price reflects that you can actually get them here at all.

What imported teas do you carry?

Our range can include French and other imported blends that are not widely distributed through mainstream UK retail. The live products above show what we currently have available.

Do you offer free delivery on rare teas?

Yes, the same terms as the rest of the shop, free UK delivery over £35, Royal Mail Tracked, dispatched same working day on orders before 2pm.
