I love Quintessential teas and the variety. Mellow Mint is where it all started for me. At the moment I’m loving Garden of Eden. It smells and tastes delicious.

This Company's tea is Delicious
This Company's tea is so delicious. My order came very quickly and there were even a few samples of other teas put in the package. That was a nice surprise.
I will be buying some more tea very soon

Bulk Buying Made Easy 🥰☕️
Being a big fan of these teas I placed a bulk order by email which was surprisingly easy. If you didn’t know you can buy bigger amounts on request - perfect for fine tea addicts like me! Thank you so much for your excellent customer service and support as always! ☕️🥰

Perfect from purchase to tasting
Ordering from Quinteassential went smoothly with quick delivery, and the taste was just as we experienced at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. Lovely.

Best tea ever
Easy website and ordering. Quick delivery. Beautiful packaging with a lovely personal note inside the delivery box. The tea is the best tea ever. And the free samples were a very welcome addition. Will order again.

Best mint tea
Such good tea at a really reasonable price. It also came very promptly following ordering and I got a lovely hand written note to tell me about the teas I had ordered/received as a gift. Mellow mint is my life saver

The Best Earl Grey Tea
Fantastic quick service and the hand written personal note is a lovely touch.
February 14, 2023
Reply from Quinteassential Fine Teas
We couldn't agree more that our Imperial Earl Grey is one of the best! Did you know we only use pure Bergamot (and not a blend of orange oils) and skillfully combine premium black tea leaves with oolong? That's how we get our unique flavour profile.
Thanks for leaving us such a lovely review :-)

Can’t wait to order again.

A cu-tea company :)
An excellent company with some delightful teas. And within every box I've ordered I saw the love and care they put in it. Genuine people doing what they love - caring for their customers. I would highly recommend it to every tea lover.

An overall pleasant experience …
After trying one of Quinteassential’s creations during an afternoon tea in Manchester, I couldn’t help but place an order at the shop the following day.
Their tea is simply divine, I’ve tried 4 different ones so far and couldn’t even say which one I like the most.
The team is so lovely, the shipping process started very quickly and I’m overall very happy with this order.
