The story

A mix of familiar favourites and new discoveries

Compare malty English Breakfast, bright Classic Earl Grey, warming Glow, soft Sweet Dreams and smoky Lapsang Souchong. Three black teas and two caffeine-free infusions make this an easy first taste of Porter Hill.

Each of the five teas comes in its own labelled 25g pouch, with tasting notes and brewing instructions. That is 125g of loose leaf in total. Around 50 cups in total when using 2.5g per cup, or around 10 cups from each 25g pouch. Your yield will vary with the tea, cup size and brew strength.

Choose the tasting box on its own for £15.95, or add a stainless steel basket infuser for £20.95. The box on its own is designed to fit through most UK letterboxes. Adding the basket infuser makes the parcel thicker, so letterbox delivery is not guaranteed. Every tea is also available in larger pouches when you find a favourite.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

What is included, and how much tea do I get?

Five different loose leaf teas in separately labelled 25g pouches: 125g of tea in total, with tasting notes and brewing instructions.

How many cups does the box make?

Around 50 cups in total when using 2.5g per cup, or around 10 cups from each 25g pouch. Your yield will vary with the tea, cup size and brew strength.

Do I need an infuser?

Use your own loose leaf infuser or teapot with a strainer, or choose the tasting box + basket infuser option. It includes the same five 25g teas and a stainless steel basket infuser for £20.95, £5 more than the box alone.

Will it fit through a letterbox?

The box on its own is designed to fit through most UK letterboxes. Adding the basket infuser makes the parcel thicker, so letterbox delivery is not guaranteed.

Which teas in the box are caffeine-free?

Glow and Sweet Dreams are both caffeine-free. English Breakfast, Earl Grey and Emperor Butterfly Lapsang Souchong all contain caffeine.

Can I add milk to any of these teas?

English Breakfast and Earl Grey both take milk well. The Lapsang is traditionally drunk black so you can taste the smoke, and the two herbal teas are best without.
