We offer an extensive range of the highest quality premium teas, both single estates sourced from tea growing regions around the world and exquisite flavoured blends made by hand in our factory in Edinburgh.
Doing our bit for the planet is an important part of our ethos at Pekoetea - over the years measures have been put in place to make sure we are not only a quality brand but also asustainable choice - - that's why we offer a refilling service.
With February now upon us, it feels like the year is racing ahead already. So when I need things to slow down a little, here's my list of soothing teas to relax, unwind and take my time with.
Lunar New Year begins when the new moon appears between 21 January and 20 February - which in 2022 is February 1st. It is now the Year of the Tiger, the main hallmarks of which are bravery, confidence and unpredictability: fitting characteristics for another year of uncertainty and change. Despite the turbulence, we here at Pekoe Tea are very grateful for your support and can't wait to see what this new exciting year will bring.
Find the right non-dairy milk is crucial to find to continue enjoying your morning, afternoon, or evening tea. Therefore, here at Pekoe Tea we’ve been experimenting with all sorts of interesting dairy alternatives and compiled a guide for anyone struggling to find just the right match.
Annual Burn’s Night celebrations traditionally involve a lot of feasting, singing and drinking. But if your partaking in dry January or happen to be the designated driver, why not try some Scottish themed tea blends instead to help round off your festivities.

Whether you're vegan 24/7, just trying it for a month or if you're not vegan at all... you will all love a slice (or let's make it 3 slices) of this beauty.
We found the flavour of Honey Oolong to be absolutely fantastic. When we first put the dry leaves into the pot the aroma was sweet and floral with notes of spices. The leaves are beautiful and wiry thanks to the gentle processing. And the tea itself has a honey like flavour, with floral notes and the classic darjeeling muscatel flavour.
After just over a decade we are saying goodbye to our shop at 20 Leven Street this month with our last trading day on Saturday 24th July. We're not closing down - we're moving to Leith, in the north of Edinburgh.
