If you've had a browse through our shop, you'll know we've got a bit of a problem — a nice one, but a problem nonetheless. Sixteen ready-made boxes, thirty-three loose leaf teas, and a Build Your Own option on top of all that. Lovely if you know exactly what you're after. A bit much if you're just popping by for a cuppa.
So here's a quick way to narrow it down, no overthinking required.
Step one: how do you want to feel?
This is usually the easiest place to start. Forget the tea names for a moment and think about what you actually want from your cup.
Want to switch off and unwind? Try A Moment of Calm, Cosy Up, or our New Mum Care Package — all built around gentle, soothing blends for slowing down at the end of the day.
Need a lift without the caffeine crash? Energy Booster and A Perfect Day both lean on naturally energising teas like matcha and green tea, so you get a boost without the jitters.
Looking after your gut or generally feeling a bit off? Happy Belly, Her Seasons, and Get Well Soon are our go-to comfort boxes — think peppermint, ginger, and other teas people have sworn by for generations.
Just here for something delicious? The Sweet Tooth, Feeling Fruity, and Feeling Spicy are all about flavour first. No agenda, just good tea.
Step two: what do you actually like drinking?
If you already know your tea preferences, this filter might get you there faster than the mood-based one above.
Classic black tea, no fuss Nan's Favourites, Afternoon Tea Party, and The All Blacks stick to timeless, familiar blends — the sort of tea your gran would approve of (ours certainly does).
Herbal and caffeine-free Ultimate Decaf and A Moment of Calm are both fully caffeine-free, perfect for evenings or anyone cutting back.
Green tea fan The All Greens and Energy Booster both showcase green tea in different ways, from delicate sencha to punchier matcha blends.
Feeling adventurous Feeling Spicy and Cosy Up bring in chai, ginger, and warming spice — a good shout if you find plain tea a bit dull.
Still stuck? Build your own box
Honestly, sometimes the best answer is to skip the guesswork altogether. With Build Your Own Box, you pick any three of our thirty-three teas and put together something that's entirely yours. It's brilliant for gifting too — if you're not sure what someone likes, let them build it themselves.
The good news? You can't really get it wrong
If you go for a subscription, you're not locked into one box forever — you can swap what lands in your letterbox each month, so today's decision is more of a starting point than a life sentence.
Have a browse, trust your gut, and let us know what you think once your first box arrives.
