    Found this tea in a local tea shop a few years ago. When it arrived in the cup, it was so clear and inviting it seemed a shame to put milk in it. So, for the first time ever, I didn’t and took it black. So glad I did. The flavour is just delightful and suits my palate perfectly. So much better than any of those supermarket brands.

      Wow. What an awesome review to read! Thank you! The Suffolk Special blend is one very close to our hearts, and one we see as our signature tea. We love to hear that you took it black despite usually adding milk… its a real testamant to its flavours!
      If you ever feel like branching out and trying something a little more fruitier, don’t hesitate in messaging us so we can help you choose something guaranteed to please! Our tea selection has something for everyone!
      Thank you again Mark, we really appreciate the review!

    Quite simply, this is the best cup of tea that I have ever drunk. It is full of flavour and is the best thing about getting up each and every morning! If I could, I would give it a 10 star rating.

    • media_butterworths –

      Wow! What an awesome review Derek, thank you! I love that it has become one of your favourite morning rituals… we all need some of those! Thanks again, we really appreciate such positive feedback!

    A cut above the rest. The Rolls Royce of bagged tea. I emigrated to Santa Monica, California many years ago. This is the only tea my wife and I now drink daily. We love it. I’ve tried a few but this creates the best cup of tea for our water. Every time I go home to Suffolk or have incoming visitors we make sure to replenish our stock of Suffolk Special Blend.

      “The Rolls Royce of bagged-tea”… I think we may have to frame that in our office! Thank you so much Niel, this is such a brilliant review… and from across the pond too? Awesome!

    The greatest tea ever! Living in a hard water area means that a half decent tea often tastes…off. However you don’t have this problem with Suffolk Special Blend. Each cup (or mug!) tastes exactly as it should every single time.

    • media_butterworths –

      “The greatest tea ever”… That’s a statement worth putting on a tea shirt! Thank you Claire for taking the time to leave a review, we always appreciate it; especially ones as good as this one!
      The Suffolk Special is specifically designed for hard water areas, so it always makes us smile when there is proof in the pudding, as some may say!
      Thanks again, Claire!

    • Butterworth & Son –

      Thanks Philip! We always appreciate reviews on our Suffolk special because, well, as you can imagine it’s close to our heart.

    Simply delicious tea. Full of flavour, perfectly balanced. I’ve been enjoying it for a couple of years and won’t be going back to Fortnum & Mason Royal Blend (my previous go-to).

    • Rob –

      Quality right here in Suffolk. Thanks for review David.

  7. Ken James (verified owner) –

    Excellent flavour, just like I used to have from your shop in Guildhall Street.

    As I have commented before, this is the best cup of tea I have ever had. It gets me going every morning!

  10. Jerry Rolfe (verified owner) –

    As I said before, all my other teas have been ousted and Suffolk Blend is now the only tea on offer in this house. Visitors are now leaving saying ‘must get some’.

    I first tried this tea in a coffee shop in King’s Lynn. I had what I can best describe as a perfect cup of tea. I had to ask the brand & now I have stocked up on it to have a home..

    • Butterworth (verified owner) –

      That is high praise indeed! Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for supporting both Butterworth’s and the cafes we supply! Kind regards – Will @BW&S (Head of QC and Sensory)

  13. janice hamstead (verified owner) –

    I usually prefer to drink the more floral lady grey tea as I am not a fan of strong stewed “builders tea”. But this one is full of flavour without having that stewed taste to it. I still go for the loose leaf Lady Grey tea (you should check it out) but this one is a great tasting tea which is way way better than the brands I had been getting.

  14. Ken James (verified owner) –

    This is the best! Our friends all like it, too.

    • Butterworth (verified owner) –

      Thank you so much for the review Ken. Tell your friends they have great taste too! Many thanks – Will@BW&S (Head of QC and Sensory)
