Tealyra Middle East really nailed it with this new release! I’ve been drinking 1998 Pu'erh for ten years, so I was naturally excited to try it when it showed up in my quarterly order. I brewed a cup this morning, took one sip, and honestly, I thought to myself, "This has to be the best tea in the world." I’m still sipping away while writing this, totally hooked, and I’ve already added more to my cart. Big thanks to the team in the UAE for such a divine find!

Tealyra Middle East really knows how to brew a strong cup. This blend is bold, tart, and has a rich, dark character that truly stands out. I love cold brewing it and mixing it with lemonade or other teas from their range, like the White Silver Needle or Orange Pekoe Ceylon. It also pairs beautifully with their butterfly pea flowers. Adding a small pinch to my hot Fat Burner tea has completely transformed my mid-morning routine. If you enjoy herbal teas with a bit of extra kick, this is a fantastic choice.

Honestly, I was underwhelmed with this pu'erh from Tealyra. It tasted surprisingly thin, which is rare for me. I followed what seemed like standard brewing instructions: 2 grams, steeped for four minutes in just-boiled water, but the result didn't meet my expectations.

Having sourced authentic teas across the US, Asia, and Europe for the past 15 years, we’ve been loyal customers of Tealyra for over half a decade. We followed their brewing instructions meticulously, paying close attention to leaf weight, water volume, and precise temperatures. Unfortunately, the result was a noticeably milder experience compared to the rich, robust Chinese pu-erh varieties we have come to expect from Tealyra.

I ordered from Tealyra Middle East in August 2024 and was pleasantly surprised by the next-day delivery. However, the experience fell apart the moment I opened the package. The aroma was overwhelmingly fishy and salmon-like, which carried through to the taste as well. It was such a disappointment that I plan to skip their Pu erh selection from now on.

Tealyra Middle East has truly mastered the art of white tea with this Silver Needle. The herbaceous notes are distinct and refreshing, offering a completely different experience from typical green teas while maintaining that delicate floral finish. It’s a robust brew that doesn’t skimp on character, making it an outstanding choice for anyone who appreciates high-quality white or green teas. A must-try!

Tealyra Middle East really hit the spot with this one. As someone who isn't usually a fan of Sheng Puerh, I was pleasantly surprised by the unique flavor profile that blends characteristics of both ripe and raw varieties. It also holds up beautifully through multiple infusions.

My first order from Tealyra arrived in Alberta from Montreal in just four days! The packaging was impressive—sturdy box with individual thick zip-seal bags that kept everything perfectly protected. As someone who has loved strong black tea since childhood, I was thrilled to try the Assam Khagorijan Strong. It delivered exactly what I was hoping for: clean, malty, smooth, and velvety with a lovely fruity aroma that adds great depth. It even reminded me of the Assam Thowra I used to drink 30 years ago. I’m so glad I started with 100g because I definitely need another cup this morning. I can’t wait to explore the rest of their collection from India, China, Taiwan, and Japan, especially to share with my daughter as she continues this wonderful family tradition.

I previously tried Imperial Pearls from Tealyra Middle East and found them lacking in flavor, so I was hoping for more. Unfortunately, the jasmine scent here isn't nearly as intense as I’d like. It’s not bad enough to dislike, but I probably won’t be placing another order anytime soon.

While it might not quite match the exceptional quality of the Da Hong Pao I brought back from China, this tea has firmly established itself as my daily morning staple at Tealyra. I love the versatility of using it for gong fu style brewing in a large ceramic travel mug. Just 5 grams yield enough for two 460ml mugs, providing up to 10 satisfying infusions with consistent flavor.

David Lewis
Reviews 1

Tealyra Middle East really nailed the convenience factor here. I’ve been taking this along for work trips and it brews up strong in a gaiwan very quickly. While the flavor profile isn’t quite my absolute favorite, it’s still a solid, decent choice and super practical for staying hydrated on the go.

Tadgh Kirby

Tealyra Middle East’s blend is a bit misleading based on the name. I expected a strong orange profile, but the ginger note takes center stage throughout the cup. The ginger flavor is present but quite mild, lacking that typical spicy kick. While the taste isn’t bad, it’s essentially a gentle ginger tea rather than the orange-forward brew I was hoping for. If you are looking for bold citrus, look elsewhere. However, if you enjoy subtle ginger teas, this could be a suitable choice.

Tealyra Middle East delivers a smooth lemongrass-forward blend where the raspberry notes play a supporting role rather than dominating the profile. While it’s refreshing iced, I found it truly shines when brewed hot, offering a gentle experience that makes it perfect for winding down before sleep. A solid 4-star choice.

David Psathas

I’m usually not fond of white teas, but this one truly surprised me. It has an elegant, refined character that rivals a high-end wine. For the best results, I steeped three grams for three minutes in a six-ounce cup using water at 190 degrees—it handles that higher temperature beautifully. My only suggestion for Tealyra would be to switch from spoons to precise gram measurements; any serious tea lover really needs a scale for consistency.

I’m usually not a fan of chamomile, but after suffering from inflammation, my acupuncturist recommended this tea. I ordered it from Tealyra Middle East and mixed it with their collagen booster. While the flavor is quite mild—maybe I need to use more leaves—it does the job. I’m drinking it for the potential relief and health benefits, so I’m happy with the choice.

Melanie Whitehouse

Having ordered a wide selection of blends from Tealyra to target inflammation and support weight loss, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I drank this one black, without any sweeteners, and found the mild bitterness perfectly balanced with a delicious flavor profile. For someone with fairly simple taste preferences, this was exactly what I needed to get my health journey started on the right foot.

I’ve been a devotee of herbal tea for years, experimenting with countless blends, and while Tealyra offers many of my regulars, this particular variety is a standout. It offers a complex profile of sweet floral and fruity notes that completely surprised me. It’s so naturally sweet that it renders the raw honey I usually add to my nightly brew completely unnecessary.

Sascha Uncia

Tealyra Middle East delivered a tea with a genuinely lovely aroma that translates well into a rich, flavorful brew. The date notes are prominent and satisfying, whether you prepare it hot or iced. Be aware that the leaves are quite dense, so the 50g tin doesn’t go very far. If you plan to enjoy this regularly, opting for the 100g size or larger is definitely the smarter choice.

I’ve been enjoying high-quality matcha from Tealyra Middle East, and it’s truly satisfying. The flavor is clean, with no bitterness or off-notes, making it a pleasure to drink on its own. I initially worried that switching from foil to coated paper bags would affect the freshness, since matcha oxidizes so easily. But my recent order arrived in a foil bag, which is great to see—they’re still prioritizing proper storage for their delicate teas. This attention to detail makes it worth the extra cost.

Courtney Stanley

Tealyra Middle East delivers a bold blend where the rosehip flavor takes center stage. While I appreciated the cup, it didn't quite meet my expectations of a well-rounded, clove-forward experience. Although there is a hint of spice and clove lingering at the end, the initial tartness is quite overpowering for my preference.

Robert Wilson

I’m not calling Tealyra Middle East’s tea “low quality,” but I can’t really justify a higher score than three stars. The real issue is that the flavor profile doesn’t match the name. “Lovely Lavender Lime” promises a strong lavender and lime experience, but this blend leans heavily into eucalyptus and mint instead. It feels a bit disingenuous to label it that way when those key notes are so overshadowed. I also found the addition of Moringa to a black tea base to be an odd choice—it just felt out of place when I was hoping for a straightforward citrus and floral profile. That said, if you happen to enjoy a mix of lavender, mint, and chamomile, this actually works well as a refreshing morning alternative rather than a bedtime brew. It’s definitely not a bad tea, but I’d skip it in the future if you’re looking for the specific lavender and lime taste it advertises.

Tealyra Middle East has some teas that just don’t hit the mark for me. I tried a blend that had an overpowering mineral quality with a distinct minty edge. While the flavor wasn’t bad—I actually finished the entire bag—it wasn’t my preference, so I likely won’t order it again. If you’re looking for something else from their range, I’d suggest checking out the Yame Gyokuro or the Matcha Iri Sencha instead.

Sascha Uncia

Tealyra Middle East definitely nailed the flavor profile with this one. It’s got that bold, sangria-inspired character with intense orange and citrus notes upfront, followed by a nice spicy kick. While it might not be my absolute top pick among fruity blends, it’s a solid brew. If you enjoy that kind of zesty, complex taste, you’ll likely enjoy this too. I gave it a quick shot as iced tea, but it really shines when served hot. I can’t help but wonder if a carbonated cold version would be an interesting twist!

I was completely unaware I needed a proper measuring tool until I tried this scoop from Tealyra Middle East. I bought it based on glowing reviews and was willing to overlook the cost just in case it didn’t work out. My very first use proved how inefficient my old David’s Tea scoop had been for my Tealyra matcha. Despite my instinct to pile on extra powder, I stuck to the instructions on my recent tea order, and the result was instantly superior. The best matcha I’ve ever made! It’s amazing how this scoop consistently grabs the perfect amount without the usual guesswork.

Sascha Uncia

The experience with Tealyra Middle East was just average for me. The blend offers a noticeable nutty aroma, but it feels a bit artificial rather than natural. On the palate, the hibiscus flavor really overshadows the strawberry notes. I was undecided about the tea myself, but when a family member tasted it, they were not impressed. I purchased two packs, but I probably won’t reorder this specific variety. It might work better as an iced tea instead.

Anna Holben

Tealyra Middle East really nailed the ingredient selection with this one. I initially picked it up simply for the delicious taste rather than any health or diet benefits, but the added wellness perks are a nice bonus. The flavor profile is absolutely spot on—totally worth the five stars.

Lindsey De Wit

Tealyra Middle East delivered a Pu'erh that certainly reveals itself slowly, even with multiple infusions in a gaiwan. The cup offers a satisfying fullness and body, anchored by distinct earthy and mushroom notes. While it might not become an immediate staple in your rotation, it is far from being a poor quality tea—definitely a solid choice worth trying.

Hadeil Al-Tamimi

I was pleasantly surprised by my purchase from Tealyra, even after seeing some lower ratings elsewhere. Their Earl Grey is fantastic, especially if you enjoy a robust citrus profile with that classic soapy note I love. The aroma and flavor are excellent once steeped, and I found it quite smooth without any bitterness. For the best result, I recommend sticking to a five-minute steep at 95°C, then removing the leaves right away to add milk. If you prefer drinking it black, three to four minutes is plenty.

Paco

As a devoted white tea drinker, my first purchase from Tealyra was a revelation, surpassing what I have found at many Chinese specialty stores. Unfortunately, the second order was a letdown, tasting completely flat and lifeless. This inconsistency suggests that quality control at their Dubai-based operation could use some tightening. Given that dip in standards, I am hesitant to take another chance on them.

Kevin L
Reviews 1

Tealyra Middle East has a solid range of pu'er, but this specific one is my least favorite. It’s quite stubborn for unwrapping, and the initial five steepings are rather weak. I’m using a gaiwan rather than steeping it for extended periods, so this variety might not mesh perfectly with my brewing style. However, once the leaves finally open up, the taste is genuinely pleasant and light. It has that characteristic slight astringency and body on the tongue that you expect from ripe pu'erh. Overall, it’s decent but not a standout for my setup.

I wouldn’t recommend Tealyra Middle East’s eucalyptus blend. The scent is reminiscent of cough medicine, and the flavor profile feels off. I found the mix of lime, lavender, black tea, and eucalyptus to be a strange combination that didn’t work for me. At $9.03 for just 50g, it felt like a waste of money. You might want to look elsewhere for your tea fix.

Une expérience gustative vraiment singulière chez Tealyra Middle East. Ce thé vert, malgré son nom, offre une douceur incomparable en bouche. Je recommande de laisser infuser généreusement pour libérer tout son potentiel aromatique. Il se distingue nettement des autres thés blancs par sa structure unique. Un vrai délice, parfaitement mérité par cette note de 5 étoiles.

I recently ordered from Tealyra Middle East and was impressed right away by the packaging—it looked stunning. The matcha itself is a gorgeous jade green, and the aroma is truly wonderful. After tasting my first cup, I can confirm this is high-quality matcha with distinct sweet notes. The vibrant color speaks for itself, and it’s affordable enough to enjoy daily. Highly recommended!

Picking up a mint blend from Tealyra Middle East was exactly what I needed to get into the habit without that overpowering intensity. The aroma upon opening the package is incredible—it’s got this distinct Girl Scout cookie vibe that I absolutely love. The brew itself strikes a perfect balance, offering a gentle mint note complemented by a rich, chocolatey earthiness. It’s easily a five-star experience, and I’ll definitely be ordering more.

Tealyra Middle East really knows how to craft a quality blend. This Rooibos-based drink is incredibly aromatic and light, offering a refreshing experience that stands out in the crowded weight management market. Unlike many alternatives that pack a heavy caffeine punch, this option is gentle on the nerves. Highly recommend trying it out from their UAE range.

I’m genuinely impressed by this tea from Tealyra Middle East—it’s a stunning, comforting blend with those complex, hard-to-place flavor notes that just keep you coming back. I’d definitely recommend buying it. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is a slight hiccup with the packaging logic. I ordered a 200g bag for myself and then grabbed some 100g and 50g bags for gifts. When they arrived, I realized the 200g size is actually packed as two separate 100g bags. It wasn’t stated clearly on the product page, so I missed out on bundling my 200g orders to save a few dollars. It’s a minor gripe, and I hope it was just due to stock availability rather than a deliberate tactic, but a bit more transparency about how the sizes are bundled would go a long way. Despite that small frustration, the tea itself is incredible, so I’d still happily recommend Tealyra.

As a newcomer to loose leaf tea, Tealyra has completely transformed how I shop for my daily brew. The flavor is bold and the scent is absolutely captivating. It’s a fantastic product, and I’ll definitely be ordering again soon despite the overwhelming number of options on the site.

Tealyra Middle East offers a Matcha that stands out from the usual varieties. The texture is incredibly smooth when prepared correctly. It has a pleasant nutty taste, distinct from the bitterness of almonds. While I found it less suitable for lattes, enjoying it on its own is a delightful experience.

Tealyra’s green tea was exactly what I needed for my coffee-to-tea transition. It’s genuinely delicious and offers a gentle, balanced energy without the jitters. I find that one heaping teaspoon yields three excellent infusions. While working, I’ve noticed a helpful boost in focus and productivity with each sip. Knowing it’s organic is a huge plus for me.

While the packaging is handy and the general quality seems solid, I was let down by the flavor profile of this Tealyra Middle East kombucha. The inclusion of erythritol, which I didn't notice at first, leaves a taste that feels unnecessary and slightly artificial. It’s a pity, because without that sweetener, it could have been genuinely enjoyable. Fortunately, I managed to get it on a discount, so I won’t feel too bad if the rest of the batch goes to waste.

Tracey Cornish

I bought a pack of Tealyra tea from their UAE shop and while I appreciate the brand, this particular variety left me underwhelmed. It has a robust, almost harsh bite that feels a bit too sharp on the palate. I experimented with different brewing times and ratios to soften the flavor, but unfortunately, the bitterness remained consistent regardless of how I prepared it. It’s strange because I’ve checked the ingredient list thoroughly and nothing obvious jumps out as the culprit for that sharp taste. At a 3-star rating, it’s an okay choice if you want a bold brew, but I ended up repurposing it for my plants since it wasn’t really my cup of tea.

Mischa Rosen

Tealyra Middle East has really nailed the balance between quality and cost. The matcha here is incredibly fragrant, which proves it’s authentic, yet it remains smooth on the palate. I compared it to a well-known brand I bought recently; their version was pale green, had almost no aroma, and was only six months old in a sealed foil bag. I’m definitely sticking with Tealyra once I work through my current supply.

I’m a huge fan of Tealyra! It’s become my go-to evening treat, usually paired with a small cookie. While the banana flavor isn't distinct to me, the experience brings to mind a lovely tea I had at Ste Anne’s Spa in Ontario years ago. They offered cacao and brittle alongside other delights. I think Tealyra would really benefit from adding a few more variations to their lineup.

Tealyra Middle East really knows how to make a great brew. I’ve sampled quite a few varieties from here, but this fruit blend stands out as a personal favorite. It’s incredibly refreshing, especially served over ice. The quality is so good that I’m definitely placing a bigger order soon.

As a regular customer of Tealyra Middle East, I can confidently say this is one of my top picks. I enjoy it every day. The quality of their chamomile is outstanding—far superior to other brands I’ve tried. The flavor is rich and intense, so using a smaller amount is best to fully appreciate its soothing taste.

Lorrie Richeson

I am absolutely smitten with this blend from Tealyra. It has this lovely, crisp astringency that really wakes up the palate. You can genuinely taste the freshness, and the aroma is so intense it practically fills the room the moment you take a sip. I wouldn’t trade even an ounce of it for anything else.

I’m absolutely loving the Samurai Matcha from Tealyra. After years of buying ceremonial grade matcha from David’s Tea, I stumbled upon their website while searching for alternatives. This is hands down the best matcha I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve decided to stick with this brand as long as it’s accessible. It’s also a huge plus that shipping is available via Canada Post. I recently ordered one of their oolong loose leaf teas, which should be arriving next week. Great value and high-quality options on the site.

Honest, this blend is fantastic. I started with the Amazon version but recently discovered Tealyra’s own site based here in the UAE and I’m never looking back. It’s truly exceptional—just a dash of stevia makes it perfect. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Having tried many loose leaf options, I found this Earl Grey from Tealyra to be quite distinct from the standard Tetley or Twinings profiles. It boasts a robust bergamot intensity that pre-packaged versions often miss, though I’m still unsure if it leans too heavily on that flavor. The infusion is smooth and free of astringent tannins, provided you avoid over-steeping or using water that’s too hot. As someone who drinks black tea plain, without milk, sugar, or lemon, I appreciate its clean finish. While I’m not entirely sure if the bergamot dominance is perfect for everyone, it remains a pleasant cup overall.

I picked up this chai blend from Tealyra hoping for a healthy, caffeine-free evening drink with some marshmallow root. While it definitely looks the part with all those visible botanicals, the taste wasn’t quite what I hoped for. Instead of the marshmallow root standing out, the flavor profile feels more like stevia, likely due to the mix of licorice, fennel, and turmeric. The second steep is similar, though some of the spices do come through a bit more. It’s a visually appealing, health-focused brew, but without the marshmallow root flavor I was looking for, it ends up tasting more like a sugar substitute than a comforting tea. Steeping it for 20 minutes after boiling gives a strong first cup, but even with a longer 6-8 minute steep for the second round, the taste remains consistent. A bit underwhelming for the price, but I hope the health benefits make up for the lackluster flavor.

Michael Malleus

Tealyra Middle East really missed the mark with this one. I tried to find a proper bourbon vanilla tea with some chocolate notes, hoping for depth, but what I got was basically thin, watery cocoa with a weird aftertaste. It’s totally unremarkable—just sitting in my cupboard because I paid for it. Would not recommend.

I’ve been a regular customer at Tealyra Middle East for some time now, so I know what to expect from their typical rooibos blends: that distinct rocky mineral finish, a hint of malt, and often an overpowering charcoal flavor. Usually, I’d rate it as decent but forgettable. However, my recent order from tealyra.ae was a pleasant surprise. The harsh charcoal edge is gone, replaced by a sophisticated floral orchid aroma with subtle cherry notes. The balance is exquisite, and the leaves are durable enough to handle nearly ten steepings. A truly commendable addition to my routine.

Tealyra Middle East is the perfect place to find your answer. I visited their store in Dubai to ask about when exactly to consume their weight and balance tea, and the staff gave me clear, helpful guidance. Their product range is excellent, and I’m glad I chose this brand for my wellness routine. Highly recommended for anyone in the UAE looking for quality tea solutions!

I took a leap of faith ordering this Tealyra tuocha, fearing it might turn out to be one of those unpleasantly earthy ripe puers. I’m thrilled to say they are fantastic. They match exactly what I look for: deep, dark, and rich with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and hearty bread, with zero off-flavors. I brewed three generous mugs (maybe I should have gone for a fourth). Each steep released a distinct, dusty sediment at the bottom. While some might view that as a sign of lower grade, I found it added to the cup's richness, hitting the sweet spot for me. The cake also disintegrated quickly during the first infusion, which again, I’m not sure is standard for high-end tuochas, but it didn’t bother me. These are perfectly tailored to my taste preferences. I’d happily buy more. The 100g pouch contained about 15 pieces, which are notably larger than average. Definitely worth it for fans of rye, bread, and dark chocolate notes.

I stumbled upon Tealyra Middle East while hunting for a weight-loss tea, though this specific blend wasn’t marketed for that. The unique combination piqued my interest, so I decided to give it a shot. Surprisingly, it has been incredibly effective for appetite control! As someone who tends to crave heavy, comforting carbs in the winter just to stay warm, I usually struggle with snacking. Drinking this between meals has been a game-changer. The warming herbs really help raise my body temperature, so I haven’t felt the urge to reach for comfort food at all in the past two days. The flavor is a delightful, aromatic fruity cocktail—visually stunning with its pink-red hue and a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and tangy notes. I brew a large 1-liter pot and keep it warm on my mug warmer, sipping it all day long. If you get cold easily and rely on food for warmth, I highly recommend this from Tealyra!

Tealyra Middle East delivers some truly exceptional tea. I really appreciate the purity of the blend—it’s exactly as described, with no unnecessary additives. The flavor is rich and invigorating, making every cup a soothing and refreshing experience. Highly recommended for anyone who values quality and taste.

I really enjoy Puerh, especially the tuocha style, with its classic earthy, leathery, and animalic notes. The flavor is great in the first three infusions, but it does fade quickly after that. My main issue with the mini tuo offerings from Tealyra Middle East is that they seem to contain broken leaves rather than full ones, so they don't hold up well for multiple steepings compared to other Puerhs. That said, it’s still a tasty and convenient option for a morning brew.
