Palanquin Tea History

Palanquin Tea began trading in 1993, when levels of tea variety were low compared to the substantial choice today. At this time, spiced tea bags were not available in the UK. For this reason, we are proud to say that we were the inventors and pioneers in producing Spiced Tea (Masala Chai) in tea bag form and made this delicious drink more accessible and convenient for the public.

Since our humble beginnings, we have continued to create more innovative and pleasing tea blends, so today we can offer our customers a greater variety of teas, all of which are made and packed by us in The Tea Factory Ltd, our family-run Essex based company premises.

We are always pleased to hear comments from our customers to ensure we have got things just right. You can leave feedback here at Customer Feedback. To let us know what you think of our tea, or to make a query please don’t hesitate to call us on 01279 445 216 or complete our contact form here.
