Very pleasant

It’s been a long time since I enjoyed Earl Grey tea this much. Most Earl Grey teas are made with black tea, and I have come to really dislike the taste of black tea in any form. For years I’ve stuck to Jasmine tea since I found green tea versions of that. Then a few weeks ago I found a half-used packet of tea in a holiday cottage. It was a green Earl Grey and it made an interesting change from my usual Jasmine.

Now that I’ve tracked down a source of this green Earl Grey I have started to drink it regularly. The bergamot flavour comes out very well in this tea .

Lovely fragranced tea

Probably one of my favourite tea nowadays. Unique taste and perfume herbal combinations, makes them suitable for any moment of the day.

Excellent tea and service

I have bought good quality teas from Property Tea for some time and the quality of their green teas has always been excellent. It is well packaged, delivered promptly and represents very good value for money. It is also good to be able to support a local provider.
