"Very, very special tea"
Nigel Slater, Food writer and broadcaster

"Yesterday I drank the most delicious cup of tea I've ever tasted. Given that I've experimented over the years with many varieties to appease an eight-cup-a-day habit you can understand that this was a particularly magical moment for me. The tea in question was Master Xu's Rou Gui, a light Wuyi rock oolong with a delicate, floral

fragrance, and I sipped it at Timothy d'Offay's charming shop, Postcard Teas, where hundreds of teas can be tried before buying". Nicole Swengley The FT's How to Spend It

"The best tea in London"
Lucille Lewin The Telegraph

"Why don't you make time for tea. Become a green tea enthusiast at Postcard Teas,where many varieties can be traced to small, family-owned tea gardens". Bianca Jagger Harper's Bazaar

"Postcard Teas boasts an amazing list of teas, some of which you may never have heard of and some you know well. The website tells you more about tea than you ever knew and best of all sends you on an exploratory tour of its tea estates". Lucia van der Post The Times

"There are many tea aficionados out there, but Tim d'Offay's passion for the perfect brew - responsibly sourced and lovingly blended - sets him apart. An innovator in his field, he sells green, black, and oolongs". Wallpaper*

"Timothy d'Offay is one of the foremost tea experts in the world". Rose Prince The Good Food Producers Guide 2010

Our 2019 Japanese senchas are all in and, barring a few small batches we hope to have later in the year, our mainline selection now totals eight (well...seven and a kabusecha!). This is the most sencha we have ever had in stock at one time, and a far cry from when we started in 2005 with the first sencha on our list from Uji.

Recently with the introduction of three new senchas from Shizuoka joining the Fuji Sencha, it now means we have half our sencha from a single prefecture with the other four from Aichi, Fukuoka and Kagoshima. Therefore we thought it would be appropriate to split them up equally into two boxsets: one for Shizuoka and one for the rest of Japan both available with a 15% discount on regular prices.

For those who wish to compare all these senchas against each other we have also added an option for a boxset which includes all eight teas at a 20% discount. Individually and as a whole they display the richness and diversity of sencha as a category, with fascinating differences in taste, aroma, colour and texture based on terroir, levels of steaming and cultivar.

To read more about the boxset please see our webpage here:
