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.

Ultimate Tea expression
Little to be said other than it is the best expression of Tea and tea-culture that I have ever experienced. The passion, knowledge and love for tea and its numerous physical and spiritual superpowers can be appreciated in every single sip, music-track or pack. Quinteassential is a true expression of love and passion for tea, to levels I have never seen reached before.

Flavours to suit all tastes and excellent service
Received a gift voucher from a friend for tea, picked a selection of different varieties and they arrived the next day. Fantastic choice of flavours to suit everyone’s tastes. Received an added bonus of some individual teabags which I hadn’t chosen allowing me to sample flavours I wouldn’t normally have tried. Great service.

DIVINE!!!
How can anyone not love the teas from 'Q'! A divine experience for all senses. It all starts with the tasteful packaging, the color composition of the tea leafs, the smell, the bespoke music and then the cutest solution to a self-made teabag... and finally you get to enjoy it: A true explosion of goodness! I am in awe!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about the Quin-tea-ssentials!

Quinteassential Teas are by far our favourite teas to both drink and use in recipes to cook with. The strength and flavour quality is outstanding.
The service from Bernadine and her team is first class and if you ever have any queries they respond immediately.
We are lucky enough to live locally so we can collect our goodies however shipping has been fine too when required.
We highly recommend tasting these teas - you will be a convert I am sure!

I absolutely adore Quinteassential
I absolutely adore Quinteassential’s teas. I’ve got a different blend for my daily tea moments and each one is the perfect balance of freshness, sweetness, calm or energy depending on what I need. My favourite changes regularly though - today it’s Green Flamingo!

Thank you for your lovely words, Tamsin!
Green Flamingo is an excellent choice, the amino acids inherent in green tea, combined with low level caffeine can help boost brain power and great to sip when taking a break.
Happy sipping!

Excellent teas and great customer service
I ordered from quintessential for the second time. Love the teas, especially the British mint, the cleanse and the rooibos creations.
Brexit didn't make it an easy experience to order something from the uk as a European, but the customer service reacted really nicely to my complaint- even tough it's all on the new customs rules due to Brexit.
If only we had these rooibos creations in Germany (I looked all over for it), so I am hoping that there are soon to be new rules which allow me to shop in the uk with pleasure.

Thank you so much for your lovely words Katharina. We have since compiled as much information as we could find and placed it on our website to try and make ordering from the EU a bit easier. Have a look here: https://quinteassential.co.uk/brexit
We're also looking forward to the days where trade becomes hassle free.
