Tealyra NZ nailed the autumn vibe with this chai. It’s rich, spicy, and sweet enough to stand on its own without needing milk or honey, though I did love turning it into a latte by steeping it strong and adding steamed milk with a touch of coconut sugar. It really is as beautiful as it is delicious—would have been perfect to post a photo!

Tealyra has delivered another standout blend with this one. It’s got serious character—tart, bold, and deeply satisfying. I usually cold brew it and mix it with lemonade or pair it with other teas from their lineup, like the White Silver Needle or Orange Pekoe Ceylon. It also shines when brewed with their butterfly pea flowers, and I’ve found that adding just a touch to my hot Fat Burner tea completely transforms my mid-morning routine. If you are looking for an herbal tea with real depth and a kick, this is the one to try.

Tealyra has been our go-to source for high-quality tea blends for over five years now. As devoted drinkers who have explored Chai Masala across America, Asia, and Europe for more than fifteen years, we know what to look for. We followed the brewing instructions precisely—down to the exact leaf weight, water volume, and temperature—and the result was outstanding. This blend is bold and full-flavored, delivering a rich experience that rivals the stronger non-decaf varieties we usually enjoy.

I’m not a fan of rooibos on its own, but the honeybush from Tealyra NZ is a real winner. It’s perfect for when you want a lightly sweet black tea experience without the caffeine or added sugar. I mix equal parts of the Pure Honeybush and Decaf Orange Pekoe Ceylon—one teaspoon of each in 400 mL—and the result is absolutely wonderful.

I’m thoroughly impressed by this white tea from Tealyra NZ. It boasts a distinct herbaceous profile that really sets it apart from typical white teas, offering a freshness more akin to green tea while maintaining its own unique character. The flavor is crisp and clean, with a pleasant floral undertone and a strength that sits comfortably on the bolder side without being overwhelming. As a top-tier Silver Needle, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys white or green varieties—I highly recommend giving it a try.

Tealyra NZ really knows how to surprise you. I’m usually not a fan of Sheng Puerh, but this blend from tealyra.co.nz is an exception. It has a unique flavor profile that sits comfortably somewhere between ripe and raw varieties. Plus, it holds up beautifully through multiple infusions. A solid five stars for this one.

Yue Guan Bai from Tealyra NZ is a delightful surprise, evoking the sophisticated elegance of champagne rather than just standard Darjeeling. The distinct muscatel grape notes create an incredible flavor profile that stands out among white teas. Absolutely fantastic choice for tea lovers.

Tealyra NZ nailed it with this festive chai blend. I was hesitant at first since I usually stick to black tea for my chai, but this green tea version exceeded my expectations. It has a wonderful spicy and sweet flavor profile that reminds me of the holidays. Truly a delightful cuppa.

Tealyra NZ has nailed the flavor profile with this one. It’s a true explosion of spice and aroma, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of creme caramel and maple. The pu’erh base is subtle enough to shine, making it a fantastic choice even when drunk black without milk. It’s definitely a treat for yourself. ☕️♥️

Tealyra’s caramel chai is an absolute delight. The aroma is rich and inviting, while the flavor profile offers a smooth, creamy sweetness that feels like a warm hug. It’s the ideal guilt-free treat to lift your spirits without weighing you down. A top-tier choice for any tea lover.

I’m really enjoying Tealyra’s blend! While the aroma isn’t overpowering, the flavor is incredibly refreshing, and you can definitely taste the apple notes. I plan to stick to the recommended serving size of two cups daily, right after lunch and dinner. I’m optimistic that I’ll start seeing the benefits soon.

I’ve tried countless Earl Grey blends, but Tealyra’s Moonlight is hands down the best. As a huge fan of Sri Lankan tea, I appreciate how delicate and mysterious this blend is, with those subtle notes of vanilla. It’s that good that it’s converted all my friends, too.

Tealyra NZ has really hit the mark with this one. It’s an incredibly distinctive black tea that captures the essence of a rainy summer day perfectly. You get these lush, sun-drenched notes followed by a subtle spicy kick. There’s a nice mineral quality with hints of fruit and a gentle astringency that makes every sip complex. It’s almost as if you can taste the very landscape where the leaves were grown. Truly a unique experience and highly recommended!

Tealyra NZ delivers exactly what tea lovers need for their daily ritual. This mug is perfect for those who appreciate a rich, grandpa-style brew at home. It’s incredibly easy to maintain; a simple dishwasher run followed by a vinegar and water rinse removes even the toughest mineral spots. While I haven’t leaned heavily on the infuser yet, I plan to experiment with using it as a strainer soon. A solid five-star choice.

Tealyra knocked it out of the park with this one. The flavor is incredibly smooth and light, yet it has enough substance to stand on its own. It’s rare to find such high quality with such a unique taste profile. I was completely unfamiliar with this tea before trying it, but I’m really happy I took the chance.

I’m really enjoying my purchase from Tealyra NZ. The flavor is bold and potent, reminiscent of that classic spearmint gum scent. While it lacks some of the fresh, leafy nuances you might expect, it’s perfect for infusing cocktails or adding to my iced drinks. My only minor gripe is that the leaves arrived a bit more crushed than they appear in the product photos. Still, it’s a solid option and I’d give it a high rating overall.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this dandelion root tea from Tealyra. On its own, it’s a bit too bitter for me. However, when you roast it in the oven, it transforms into a rich, earthy, malty drink that resembles coffee. It really shines when served hot with a splash of milk. The main issue is the quality control; I found quite a bit of clay-like residue mixed in with the loose leaves. While sifting it out before brewing is manageable, it feels like I’m paying for dirt rather than just the root, which is annoying since I actually enjoy the flavor profile. There is also a slight concern about ingesting that sediment. Tealyra offered a refund for the inconvenience, which was nice. If they can refine their cleaning process, I’d easily rate them as my top choice for fresh, organic herbal teas in New Zealand.

Tealyra NZ really knows how to craft a quality Earl Grey. It’s incredibly smooth and lacks that harsh bitterness often found in generic store brands. I’ve tried a few of their blends and they are consistently good—definitely give the Darjeeling Earl Grey a shot if you haven't already. The Hawaiian Earl Grey is another excellent choice that deserves a try.

I’m really impressed with this Earl Grey from Tealyra NZ! The aroma is beautifully fragrant, with lovely floral notes and subtle hints of citrus. The first sip delivers those floral flavors right up front, accompanied by a gentle bergamot sweetness. The liquor is smooth with just a touch of astringency that leaves your mouth feeling slightly dry, but it lacks any harsh edges or excessive bitterness. Easily one of the best Earl Grey blends I’ve ever tasted.

For anyone seeking a caramel-infused black tea that doesn’t rely on added sugar, Tealyra offers a solid option. While it wasn’t my personal favorite and I only drank it occasionally, it certainly has its merits. It lacks the bold punch of the Pu'erh Maple Chai and isn’t as fragrant, but it’s still a pleasant choice for a light, sweet tea experience.

I have a vivid memory of my first Earl Grey experience from decades ago: it was an oily, astringent mess that I forced myself to drink. Fast forward to today, and my order from Tealyra NZ completely changed that perception. I picked up the Darjeeling Cream Earl Grey based on its reputation, and the difference is night and day. This blend is incredibly smooth, fragrant, and fruity, lacking that nasty oily film I used to associate with the flavor. It is clear that using loose, fresh leaves rather than dried stems and artificial essence makes all the difference. I’m actually a bit regretful that I didn’t discover high-quality loose leaf tea sooner, but I will definitely be reordering this favorite. Highly recommended!

If you are a fan of green tea or Earl Grey, this blend from Tealyra NZ is absolutely outstanding. The combination of bergamot and cornflower creates a wonderfully smooth finish that really elevates the flavor. It has easily become one of my all-time favorites. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already.

My experience with Tealyra NZ was a bit of a letdown this time. The brew lacked that distinct jasmine aroma I usually expect, and it tasted noticeably more bitter than the jasmine pearls I’m used to. I think I got a different batch than everyone else. Considering the quality of their pearls, I’ll likely be returning to those instead.

Tealyra NZ has nailed it with this blend. It’s aromatic, light, and incredibly refreshing, with a distinct rooibos aroma that really shines through. If you’ve struggled with other weight management teas that hit you with too much caffeine, this one is a breath of fresh air. It definitely stands out from the crowd. Highly recommended!

Tealyra NZ really knows how to make premium matcha. This stuff is top-tier—super vibrant jade color, incredibly creamy, and smells like pure, fresh green tea leaves. It’s become a staple in my morning routine because it’s just that good. Yes, it’s on the pricey side, but if you don’t mind spending a bit more for quality, I’d highly recommend it. I’m already planning my next order of the Daily Matcha to replace my current stock.

I recently tried a Darjeeling blend from Tealyra and put it through its paces. I followed a strict protocol for my tasting: one full teaspoon per 50mL cup, steeped for exactly three minutes, with a second brew to test durability. On paper, this is a medium-strength tea with a pleasant, crisp aroma, though the initial flavor is on the milder side. It tends to fade quickly in a second brew. However, outside of this controlled experiment, I found it to be a standout choice. I usually brew it stronger and longer, and it handles the extra extraction beautifully without turning bitter. The flavor remains consistent even as it cools, making it an excellent everyday tea. Honestly, it was one of the best options in my recent haul. Highly recommend it—I give it a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this from Tealyra NZ and found the brew to be quite potent and unpleasantly bitter. I experimented with different steeping strengths, but the harsh taste remained consistent. It’s odd because this bitterness isn’t highlighted in other reviews, and checking the ingredient list didn’t reveal any obvious culprits. I ended up repurposing it as a plant fertilizer since I couldn’t stand drinking it.

Finding quality guayusa can be a bit of a hunt, whether you prefer it on its own or blended, but Tealyra in New Zealand has finally solved that problem for me. I’m really impressed with their selection, which includes excellent guayusa as well as some great pu-erhs. It’s quickly become my go-to supplier for tea.

I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase from Tealyra NZ! The moment I opened the package, the aroma was incredible, and it only got better once the hot water was added. The flavor is rich and satisfying without being too intense. I was previously disappointed by a different brand that tasted completely flat, but this blend is exactly what I had been searching for. Highly recommended!

I brewed these leaves over ice and was really impressed with the result. Tealyra NZ has crafted a peach blend that is distinct yet gentle, avoiding any cloying sweetness. As the drink sits and warms up, subtle notes of vanilla emerge on the finish. It’s a incredibly refreshing choice for a hot day.

Tealyra NZ has really outdone themselves with this chai. The flavor is absolutely stunning, and even the empty mug continues to release those lovely maple caramel aromas. I might have steeped it a bit too long on the first attempt, which let the herbal undertones overshadow the maple sweetness, but that’s a minor detail. This is hands-down the best chai I’ve had in a long time—it has this incredible caramelized maple punch that sets it apart from the rest. Truly wonderful.

I’ve sampled a good number of blends from Tealyra NZ and this particular fruit tea has quickly become a staple in our household. It’s incredibly flavorful, and we especially enjoy it chilled over ice. It’s so good that I’m definitely placing a bigger order to stock up.

Tealyra NZ has really hit the mark with this blend. You can practically feel the freshness in every sip, and the aroma is absolutely intoxicating. It’s got this lovely, zingy tannin finish that just lingers on the tongue. Honestly, I wouldn’t trade a single ounce of this for anything else.

I’ve actually bought this from Tealyra NZ twice now, though I didn’t realize it until I checked my order history. It’s a really unique experience. As someone who loves white and aged teas for their lingering aftertaste, the "Puer" in the name drew me in. Even though it’s a Bai Cha and I expected a lighter profile, it delivers something special. The first couple of infusions are quite mild, so I’d recommend a quick rinse—I usually do this only with roasted oolongs, but it works well here. You can get at least eight steeping sessions out of it if you’re generous with the leaf volume. The liquor is a clear, rich amber gold. The aroma reminds me of aged Shou Mei, with notes of bamboo and wet autumn leaves, but without that intense aftertaste. Instead, there’s a pleasant sensation that lingers on the palate. It’s a mellow, substantial brew that lacks the usual sharpness or intensity of standard Puer. The mix of buds and leaves indicates good quality.

I’m glad I went with Tealyra NZ for this purchase. The tea has a distinct rock wulong character, offering a mineral profile with a subtle citrus kick. It starts as a honey gold and deepens to a rich amber. There’s no astringency here; instead, the brew is smooth with notes of peach, wood, and a touch of nuttiness, without being too sharp. It doesn’t have a heavy aftertaste, so it might not be the right fit if you prefer strong, bold flavors. I’d definitely buy it again. The caffeine hits gradually, and using a generous leaf volume (around 5g) makes for a rich, lasting brew that steeps well up to five times. Overall, it’s a solid quality option for the price.

Michael Malleus

Tealyra missed the mark with this blend. I hoped the chocolate notes would complement the bourbon vanilla nicely, but the result was just a weak, watery cocoa with an odd aftertaste. It’s quite forgettable, and I’m only finishing it because I paid for it. Not worth a repeat.

For a first-time tea drinker, I was expecting the pineapple flavor to be much more prominent in Tealyra’s blend. It’s there, but it feels a bit overshadowed by the other ingredients rather than taking center stage. I’d love to see the pineapple profile boosted in future batches.

I highly recommend this blend from Tealyra. It’s incredibly smooth and gentle on the palate, with a flavor that isn’t overpowering. There’s a lovely, subtle vegetal finish without any of that harsh bitterness often found in green teas. I brewed it at 175F for just two minutes, and the result was perfect. It’s become my go-to for morning rituals, giving me the right balance of calm and focus. I’m definitely buying this again.

Tealyra’s Dan Cong is a delicate, floral pick that offers a wonderfully creamy finish. It’s an excellent choice for daytime sipping, offering a gentle toasty character without the grassy notes common in other green teas. I brew it Gongfu style in short 150ml infusions, getting about 8 to 10 steeps at 90°C. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a lighter, smoother tea experience.

Tealyra’s hibiscus juice has been a game-changer for us. After a year-long battle with Staphylococcus aureus that persisted despite multiple rounds of antibiotics and injections, we started drinking 75cl of your juice daily. The bacteria has now completely disappeared from our system. It’s truly wonderful for the body—thank you, Tealyra!

I’ve sampled higher-priced matchas from Japan and other well-known brands like Ippodo, and honestly, Tealyra’s quality is right up there with the best I’ve ever had. It’s great to finally find truly premium matcha available right here in the UK. I’m really impressed and can’t wait to explore the rest of their collection!

Tealyra really knows how to blend quality with care. The initial flavor has that characteristic earthy note, but it settles into a remarkably smooth and enjoyable finish. If you’re sensitive to strong tastes, just stick to a teaspoon—the health perks are simply worth it. I’ve been using it for digestive support and noticed a real improvement in my skin while detoxing. Highly recommend!

Five stars for Tealyra NZ! I specifically chose the 500g pack of Assam Garden Shop CTC tea after getting burned by fake goods at the Jalpaiguri market. I appreciate the cash-on-delivery option, which cost me just an extra 50 rupees. Delivered safely to my address in Kadamtala, Patgola, Jalpaiguri, West Bengal (735201). Genuine product for personal use.

I’m a huge fan of coconut and Tealyra’s teas in general, but this particular blend caught me off guard. The flavor profile is incredibly unusual—best described as sour and oily. It’s hard to guess what you’re in for unless you’ve experimented with adding coconut to your tea before. Definitely an acquired taste, but for me, it missed the mark.

Tracie

Tealyra really nailed it with this blend! As someone who usually skips fruit-infused teas, I’m genuinely surprised by how luscious and sweet this is, with just the right touch of tartness at the end. Even with a heavy steep, it hits the sweet spot perfectly. The current sale makes it a steal, especially since I tend to use a generous amount. It’s so good on its own, but I’m already planning to use it as the base for an adult rooibos latte with amaretto—definitely looking forward to testing that for a festive Thanksgiving treat.

I’ve been drinking Guayusa for years, and it remains my top choice. Its flavor stays smooth no matter how long you brew it. I go through 2-3 mugs daily. When my usual seller stopped stocking it, I was thrilled to find Tealyra. They’re far superior to my previous supplier. Orders from Tealyra arrive in just a couple of days, every time. The leaves are consistently fresh and aromatic.
