5 reasons why you should join our UK tea subscription service
Whether you're interested in experiencing new teas or shopping for the perfect gift for a tea-lover, a tea subscription is an exciting, easy and cost-effective way of getting fresh loose leaf tea regularly delivered.
From regular orders of your favourite teas, delivered to your chosen timescale, to new monthly teas with our Tea of the Month subscription and gift subscriptions for that special tea-lover, Tea Direct has a choice of flexible subscriptions to meet all your needs.
So, if you're considering signing up for a regular delivery of fabulous fresh tea, we've outlined the main reasons why our customers love our subscription tea deliveries, followed by a breakdown of the different types of tea subscriptions available to you.
Why should you sign up to a tea subscription?
From saving money on your go-to favourites to tasting your way around the world one cup at a time, there is a long list of reasons why weekly, fortnightly, or monthly tea subscriptions are a great purchasing decision. Below, you'll find our top reasons to join a tea subscription service.
Save 15% on every order
If you calculated how much money you've spent in supermarkets on tea over your lifetime, chances are you’ll arrive at a sizable figure. Rather than cutting back on your tea intake, keep your budget low by saving 15% with our personal tea subscription.
Before adding your preferred tea to your cart, instead of selecting the ‘One-time purchase’ option, select the ‘Subscribe & Save (15%)’ option and choose your frequency. Your tea subscription discount will be automatically added at checkout without the fuss of a discount code to enter or remember.
Taste over 100 different varieties
One of the major benefits of tea subscriptions is that they encourage you to experience new flavours you may never have tried.
At Tea Direct, our subscribers get access to an extensive range of over 100 different varieties of teas and tisanes. That's why we consider any of our subscriptions to be the best tea subscription that UK consumers can buy. Compared to other tea subscription services, the choice available to our Tea Direct customers is incredibly vast and includes rare varieties.
Never run out of your favourite tea
Waking up and realising you don't have enough loose leaf tea to make a much needed pick me up is not a great feeling. By signing up to a regular tea subscription, you're ruling out the chance of ever being caught short on your tea supply.
Show off new flavours to guests
If you like sharing your love of tea with others, a subscription service is a sure way to impress visitors. Instead of presenting guests with the same tea over and over again, you’ll be able to offer them a completely new variety every time they visit.
For example, in our range, not only do we have tea leaves from all over the world, including black teas and green teas, but we also offer a unique selection of herbal teas and fruit tisanes, flavoured teas, rooibos and decaffeinated teas.
Take the fuss out of sourcing new items
When we lead such busy lives, it can sometimes be difficult to find the time to hunt down new quality teas. With our Tea of the Month subscription, we do all the hard work for you.
Expertly selected by our UK team, our mystery tea picks are chosen to introduce you to completely new flavours and aromas. These new experiences will help build on your knowledge, find out what regions or varieties you love and keep your tea exploration journey delicious, diverse and exciting.
Which Tea Direct subscription is best for you?
At Tea Direct, we offer three types of subscriptions, each giving you access to our huge range of tea varieties. All you need to do is work out whether you'd like to receive the to-your-door service yourself or generously offer it as a gift, and if you'd like to pick your teas yourself or let us choose them for you with our Tea of the Month.
Below you'll find a roundup of each of our tea subscriptions. Our subscriptions are designed to be flexible, so can be paused, cancelled or amended at any point.
The personal tea subscription
For those who enjoy selecting their tea, a personal tea subscription is the perfect option for you. You can set up a regular order of your favourite teas to arrive every week, fortnight or month without fail, or explore our 100 plus products if you'd like to try something new.
A personal subscription also gives you a permanent 15% discount on our full range. All you need to do is select the 'Subscribe & Save (15%)' option and choose your frequency.
Like all of our subscriptions, the personal tea subscription is a flexible plan, so you can increase or decrease order frequencies, pause your plan, or cancel at any time.
