Will it fit?
Most UK letterboxes take a Royal Mail large letter: up to 35.3 × 25 × 2.5cm and 750g. With loose leaf tea it is the 2.5cm that runs out first, so how much fits comes down to the shape of the leaf.
Tea quantities vary by gift. Check the individual product for its contents and delivery details. Larger orders and boxes with an infuser go as a small parcel.
Choose by the tea they already drink, or go for Bestsellers if you are not sure. Add a basket infuser for £5 if they don't have one.
Put their address in at checkout. We pack it by hand in Huddersfield.
The tasting box alone fits most UK letterboxes. Adding a basket infuser or more items makes a thicker parcel.
Good to know
Our letterbox tea gifts are hand-packed at Porter Hill in Byram Arcade, Huddersfield. Not sure which box suits them? The tea finder sorts all our loose leaf teas by taste, caffeine and time of day.
Yes, in most homes. Our tasting boxes are packed flat to Royal Mail large letter size, which is up to 35.3 × 25 × 2.5cm. That goes through most UK letterboxes. The versions with a basket infuser are a little deeper, so they travel as a small parcel instead.
It depends on the tea. Dense teas with small leaves, like English Breakfast or Sencha, pack tightly, so around 200g fits in a pouch slim enough for the letterbox. Light, bulky teas like Chamomile or Dandelion Leaf take up far more room, so about 100g is the most that fits.
Our eight five-tea tasting boxes contain 25g of each tea, except light Peppermint, Organic Chamomile, Organic Dandelion Leaf, Organic Nettle and Organic Lemon Balm, which are 15g each. Sweet Dreams is 25g. Bestsellers, Earl Grey, Breakfast, Green, Fruit and Rooibos boxes total 125g; Caffeine-Free totals 105g and Wellness totals 95g. Other gift sets have their own contents listed on the product page.
Yes. Enter their name and address as the delivery address at checkout and we will post it directly to them.
We pack orders by hand in Huddersfield. Free standard UK delivery from £35.
No teapot needed. A basket infuser sits in a mug and lifts out when the tea is ready. If they don't have one, choose the version of the box with an infuser included.
Every tea in our tasting boxes is also sold in larger pouches, so it is easy to buy more of the one they liked. The tea finder will help them find similar teas too.
