ABOUT US

We’ve been serving up quality cuppa’s to the nation since 1837. Operating globally, we source, buy and blend the finest tea leaves, and promise our customers perfection with every sip.

Brand Values

British tastes are now broader than ever, with out of home consumers expecting a wide range of fruit, herbal and speciality blends, in addition to the black tea we are famous for. We work all over the globe, sourcing, buying and blending the finest leaves so caterers can serve a quality cuppa. The leaves we source are taste-tested eight times to ensure they deliver our iconic colour and flavour.

Expertise

Our expert blenders train for a minimum of five years to achieve this level of skill. Their knowledge is valued so highly that one blender has his taste buds insured for £1 million. As a result, Tetley is acknowledged and recognized as a Great Taste Producer, having won several Great Taste Awards consistently over a three-year period.
