I was buying some tea as a secret Santa gift and decided to treat myself to the signature collection so I could also get a taste for Shibui too. The packaging and little pots the teas come in are a nice size and I love having such a varied selection to choose from depending on what mood I'm in. Can't wait to expand my collection!
My girlfriend discovered Shi Bui tea whilst we stayed at an AirBnB in The Lake District. She’s become quite the fan, and the quality is exceptional! I ordered her the Christmas selection as a gift for Christmas, and she absolutely loves them!! 🥰
The smell of this tea is quite sweet and chocolatey so I was initially worried about the flavour, but the taste is much more complex with undertones of citrus for balance. I really enjoyed this tea and will buy again.
Tea arrived on time and nicely packaged. The flavours are marvellous and make a delicious cup of tea.
Thank you

I finish the day with a cup of this warming tea. The ginger is a great combination with mint to warm you up in the winter evenings
This was a gift for my son who loves rooibos tea. He has not tried them all but enjoyed it so far and especially to brew loose tea is a different taste and experience. I would like to note that the customer service is outstanding. Thank you
I've tried this tea twice now and each time, I've found the flavour to have undertones that are a bit too perfumey for me- first time I thought I'd used a cup that hadn't had all the soap rinsed from it when it was washed, but the same flavour was there the second time...Not for me. Which is a shame beacause I am enjoying the others that I purchased - Assam and Darjeeling. Also bought Sencha but haven't tried it yet....
I have tasted three decaf teas from Shibui now (English Breakfast and Darjeeling) and this is my personal favourite. I prefer a deeply flavoursome tea and therefore the Assam is right up my street. I'll be ordering more.
I got Vanilla Rose tea & chocolate as a gift which was packaged beautifully with care, and tried the Earl Grey and a green tea, all were so delicious and I’ll definitely buy more in future. Such a treat, highly recommended!
The tea has a strong lemon taste but the ginger is not there. Pleasant enough as a lemon tea.
I bought a selection of teas for a Christmas gift. The order came well packed and fairly quick, especially given the time of the year!
The recipient is very happy with their teas and says all flavours tried so far are very pleasant.
If you like gingerbread you will love this tea, a treat for the senses!
A delightfully bright and fruity tea which I will be ordering again and recommending to others!
Absolutely love this tea, it’s such high quality and full of flavour. I was gifted an advent calendar and enjoyed every single tea but this one was definitely my favourite. I have stocked up on teabags and will be back for more.
I thought I would try this tea in my monthly order . I love sencha and liked the sound of the tasting notes . It’s beautiful. It will be included in my teas from now on .
I bought these for my family members at Christmas and they absolutely loved them. Packaged so beautifully and arrived so quickly. Will be ordering again!
I sadly found the bancha tasted quite bitter and stale compared to what i'm used to (in Montreal…sadly can't order from them now that I live in Scotland). Wasn't the case for the other two teas I purchased (genmaicha and jasmine) so it might be a random thing. I don't think i'll try bancha from here again though as not willing to risk another bad batch.
Excellent tea and really enjoying it. Great communication too from the company.
I ordered the chocolate orange tea and it was delicious! Would highly recommend to anyone.
