Why should you sign up to a tea subscription?

From saving money on your go-to favourites to tasting your way around the world one cup at a time, there is a long list of reasons why weekly, fortnightly or monthly tea subscriptions are a great purchasing decision. Below are some of the top reasons to join a tea subscription service.

• Save 15% on every order

  If you calculated how much money you've spent in supermarkets on tea over your lifetime, chances are you would arrive at a sizable figure. Rather than cutting back on your tea intake, you can keep your budget lower by saving 15% with a personal tea subscription.

  Before adding your preferred tea to your cart, instead of selecting the one-time purchase option, select the Subscribe & Save 15% option and choose your frequency. The tea subscription discount is automatically added at checkout without the need for a discount code.

• Taste over 100 different varieties

  One of the major benefits of tea subscriptions is that they encourage you to experience new flavours you may never have tried.

  Subscribers get access to an extensive range of over 100 different varieties of teas and tisanes. Compared to many other tea subscription services, the choice available is vast and includes rare varieties.

• Never run out of your favourite tea

  Waking up and realising you do not have enough loose leaf tea to make a much-needed pick-me-up is not a great feeling. By signing up to a regular tea subscription, you reduce the chance of ever being caught short on your tea supply.

• Show off new flavours to guests

  If you like sharing your love of tea with others, a subscription service is a good way to impress visitors. Instead of presenting guests with the same tea over and over again, you’ll be able to offer them a new variety each time they visit.

  For example, a wide range can include black teas, green teas, herbal teas, fruit tisanes, flavoured teas, rooibos and decaffeinated teas.

• Take the fuss out of sourcing new items

  When life is busy, it can be difficult to find the time to hunt down new quality teas. With a Tea of the Month subscription, that work is done for you.

  Expertly selected by a UK team, mystery tea picks can introduce you to completely new flavours and aromas. These new experiences help build your knowledge, show you which regions or varieties you love, and keep your tea journey diverse and exciting.

Which Tea Direct subscription is best for you?

There are three types of subscriptions, each giving access to a huge range of tea varieties. All you need to decide is whether you would like to receive the service yourself or give it as a gift, and whether you would like to pick your teas yourself or have them chosen for you with Tea of the Month.

Below is a roundup of each tea subscription. These subscriptions are designed to be flexible, so they can be paused, cancelled or amended at any point.

• The personal tea subscription

  For those who enjoy selecting their own tea, a personal tea subscription is an ideal option. You can set up a regular order of your favourite teas to arrive every week, fortnight or month, or explore a large range of products if you'd like to try something new.

  A personal subscription also gives you a permanent 15% discount across the full range. All you need to do is select the Subscribe & Save 15% option and choose your frequency.

  Like all subscriptions, the personal tea subscription is flexible, so you can increase or decrease order frequencies, pause your plan, or cancel at any time.

• The tea gift subscription

  A tea subscription gift can be a guaranteed hit with any tea lover, with more than 100 different types of tea to choose from that are likely to impress even knowledgeable tea drinkers.

  You can choose from 3, 6 or 12-month subscriptions, and the recipient will receive loose leaf tea delivered straight to their door. The gift subscription can be emailed to you, ready to be printed and given to the recipient.

• Tea of the month

  If you'd love to expand your knowledge of tea but do not have the time to seek out your next brew, Tea of the Month is a strong option. This monthly tea subscription removes the guesswork from sourcing new teas, with a new variety delivered each month and carefully curated by tea experts.
