I'm a big tea lover and have sourced my tea from many different online sellers over the years. I have used Char Teas a few times but have found a much more reasonably priced and very helpful supplier with a great selection of classics and their own blends. I recently returned to Char Teas to place an order because my mum requested some Lady Winchester, which only Char Teas supply and which really is a lovely flavoured blend. I added something for myself, hoping to qualify for free postage, but was dismayed to find this doesn't feature, even for very expensive orders, when others like Simpli-Special and Teas Direct offer this for orders over £20.What was worse though is that I bought the autumn Darjeeling at a fairly high price of nearly £10 per 100g to treat myself and it doesn't seem to have much flavour at all, I wouldn't been able to tell it's Darjeeling, tastes more or less like water to me. I acknowledge people have different taste buds and mine have not got better through since Covid, but I have recently drank Darjeeling from my other supplier and it tastes like Darjeeling. I feel cheated. They sent two free samples which is a nice touch I appreciated. Of the samples, the Early Grey variant was good but I didn't rate the Swedish breakfast tea much as it had that rather artificial, cloying peachy smell some flavoured teas seem to have (even though it tasted a lot less peachy, strangely, but rather unexciing and it seemed to not know what it was about).I guess what I'm saying is, the offering seems patchy while prices are inflated. Lady Winchester is excellent though. I would recommend to regular customers to branch out and try some other suppliers, where they might get similar or better quality tea for half the price.
