Postea is a UK-based loose leaf tea subscription service designed to make proper tea feel simple, enjoyable and easy to fit into everyday life. Each month, we deliver a letterbox-friendly box of loose leaf tea straight to your door, with free UK delivery.
Whether you already love loose leaf tea or you are just starting to move away from standard tea bags, Postea gives you an easy way to try different blends, flavours and tea styles without overcomplicating the process.
What is a loose leaf tea subscription?
A loose leaf tea subscription is a regular delivery of loose leaf tea, sent monthly, that helps you discover new teas without needing to place a new order every time.
Instead of buying one large bag of tea and hoping you like it, a Postea subscription gives you smaller selections to try. This makes it easier to explore different types of tea, including black tea, green tea, herbal tea, fruit tea, chai, rooibos and caffeine-free options.
At Postea, our monthly tea boxes include three different loose leaf teas. This gives you variety in every box while still keeping things simple.
How does Postea work?
Postea has been created to make loose leaf tea easy from the very beginning. You choose the type of box you want, place your order, and we send your tea directly to you in letterbox-friendly packaging. That means you do not need to be home to receive it.
Each Postea box contains three different loose leaf teas, giving you a total of 60g of tea per box. The tea is packed into smaller pouches so you can enjoy variety without committing to large quantities.
Our aim is simple: to help more people enjoy better tea at home.
With Postea, you can choose between curated tea boxes and our Build Your Own option.
Our curated boxes are designed around different moods, tastes and preferences. For example, you might choose a box focused on calming evening teas, energising blends, decaf options, green teas, black teas, or fruity and floral flavours.
If you prefer to choose for yourself, our Build Your Own box lets you select the teas you want from our range. This is ideal if you already know what you like, want to avoid certain flavours, or enjoy creating your own monthly tea selection.
This flexibility means Postea can work for complete beginners as well as people who already enjoy loose leaf tea.
What comes in a Postea box?
Each Postea tea subscription box contains:
- 3x20g pouches of loose leaf teas
- Letterbox-friendly packaging
- Free UK delivery on all subscriptions
- A brewing guide offering simple information to help you enjoy your tea
- 3 discount vouchers to give your friends and family to get them 10% off their first order
- All subscriptions come with two free gifts: a tea infuser and tea scoop
How many cups of tea can I make with a Postea subscription box?
The amount of cups you get from each box depends on how strong you like your tea and how much you use per cup. As a general guide, 60g of loose leaf tea gives you plenty of cups to enjoy throughout the month, especially if you are using around one scoopful per serving.
Loose leaf tea can also be steeped two or three times, adding to the experience each time.
Is Postea suitable for loose leaf tea beginners?
Yes. Postea has been designed with beginners in mind.
Our boxes are designed to help you explore loose leaf tea in a simple and approachable way. You can start with familiar flavours, try something new each month, and slowly discover the types of tea you enjoy most.
If you are new to loose leaf tea, a subscription box is a great way to begin because it gives you variety without overwhelming you.
All of our boxes come with a step-by-step brewing guide and each tea is provided with clear instructions, ingredients and allergy advice.
Does Postea deliver across the UK?
Yes. Postea delivers across the UK.
Our tea subscription box is designed to be letterbox-friendly, which makes delivery easier and more convenient. You do not need to wait in for a parcel, and your tea can arrive through your door ready for you to enjoy.

Can I change, pause or cancel my subscription?
Yes. Postea has been built to be flexible.

You can choose the box that suits you, update your preferences, and manage your subscription in a way that works for you.
Why choose a loose leaf tea subscription?
A loose leaf tea subscription is a good choice if you want to:
- Discover new teas regularly
- Try different flavours without buying large bags
- Move away from standard tea bags
- Enjoy better-quality tea at home
- Find new favourites
- Receive tea conveniently through the post
- Give someone a thoughtful and practical gift
It is also a lovely way to add a small moment of calm to your day. Whether you enjoy tea in the morning, during work, after dinner, or before bed, having a selection of teas at home makes it easier to choose something that suits the moment.
Is a tea subscription a good gift?
Yes, a tea subscription makes a great gift for tea lovers.
It is thoughtful, useful and easy to enjoy. Because Postea boxes include three different teas, the recipient gets to discover a variety of flavours rather than receiving just one type of tea.
A tea gift subscription is also convenient because it can be delivered directly to the recipient’s home. It works well for birthdays, thank-you gifts, housewarming presents, Christmas gifts, or simply as a treat for someone who enjoys a proper cup of tea.
Why we started Postea
Postea was founded in Ramsgate, Kent, by a local couple who wanted to make loose leaf tea feel more accessible.
We loved the idea of discovering better tea, but we also knew that loose leaf tea can sometimes feel intimidating. There are so many varieties, brewing methods and flavour profiles that people often do not know where to start.
As a Ramsgate tea business, our mission is to deliver enjoyable, varied and easy-to-understand loose leaf tea boxes through your letterbox, helping people discover new teas without the fuss.
