Lapsang Souchong – From £10.99
Sourced from the beautiful Wuyi Mountain region of China's Fujian Province, this fine black tea has a distinct smoky aroma and taste, created from methods used during the drying process. Leaves are dried over pine wood fires to develop complex woody notes, complementing their natural flavours, and resulting in a delicious, well-balanced and robust tea.
Excellent tea, it’s my wife’s favourite, lovely Smokey smell, like a traditional open fire at home. Nice rich colour, and a slightly nutty flavour.

Assam Leaf – From £10.99
This large leaf, second flush tea produces a delightful amber brew that reveals bold, full flavours. Perfect when prepared with milk and sugar, Assam Leaf makes for a delicious tea that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
A delightfully bold tea which can be drunk at any time of the day.

I’m really happy with the Assam leaf I ordered. I contacted the company to check it was large leaf Assam and got a very speedy reply. The tea is a good strong clear flavour and you can replenish the teapot several times getting a good number of cups from it. I shall order again.

Excellent, high quality tea. I am really pleased that I have discovered Tea Direct, rather than having to rely on poor quality tea.

Ceylon Orange Pekoe – From £10.99
A high-quality whole leaf tea sourced from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant, which is found in the highlands of Sri Lanka. The Orange Pekoe category of tea grade is one of the highest back tea grades available, gaining its renowned status from the characteristic wholeness of the leaves, which are obtained during the first flushes (pickings) of the season.
Excellent tea. Mild and full of flavour. Good colour, no dust. Delighted with purchase and will order again.

This is excellent tea with a lovely taste for an afternoon cuppa. I've used it in the tea bags sold by Tea-Direct and it is very refreshing.

Darjeeling Leaf – From £11.99
Produced in the warm, humid climates of West Bengal, where fresh, clean air imbues the leaves with delightfully floral aromas, Darjeeling Tea Leaf is an excellent, light tea that offers up delicate fruit flavours, which are characterised as Muscatel, in reference to the Muscat variety of grape.
This tea is of excellent quality with a delicate yet distinct flavour. I take it without milk, and be brew for about two minutes - delicious, refreshing, reviving.
Anthea O.
Delicate and refined, refreshing and a perfect afternoon pick-me-up!
Elisabeth M.
Excellent tea and efficient service. No one will ever use tea bags again after drinking this tea.

Superior English Breakfast – From £10.99
A large leaf tea made from a wonderful blend of Ceylon, Assam and East African teas and goes perfectly with milk and sugar, making it ideal when prepared first thing in the morning. This blend brings together the best qualities from each tea to create a well-rounded, full-flavoured beverage: Assam tea offers a characteristic maltiness and strong, bold flavours, while Ceylon brings subtle sweetness and a lovely crisp bitterness.
The perfect tea, far to good to keep just for Breakfast and with the rich flavour and quality we can top the pot up time and time again so excellent value for money.
Lindy H.
