Take Part in the new Derbyshire Tea Taste Test

Take Part in the new Derbyshire Tea Taste Test

Derbyshire Tea is looking for 100 tea drinkers from across the county to take part in our next official taste test. A full, wide sample of real people, real mugs, and real opinions.

Five years have passed since the last Derbyshire Tea taste test. In that time, tea harvests have shifted, growing conditions have changed, and drinking habits have moved on. The only way to keep supplying the tea Derbyshire actually wants is to ask Derbyshire again.

That is exactly what Blend 2 is about.

What the 100 testers will receive

Each selected tester will be posted three different sample blends to try at home. No tasting rooms. No scripts. Just your normal brew, however you drink it.

Milk or no milk. Strong or steady. One cup a day or ten.

You then tell us which blend works best for you and why.

Why 100 people matters

A hundred testers gives us a proper cross-section of Derbyshire tea drinkers. Different ages, routines, preferences, and palates. This is not about chasing trends. It is about finding the blend that feels right in the most homes.

The blend with the strongest overall support becomes Blend 2, the next core Derbyshire Tea blend.

How to take part

  1. Submit your details through the sign-up form
  2. We select 100 testers
  3. You receive three sample blends by post
  4. You taste, compare, and report back
  5. Your feedback helps decide the future of Derbyshire Tea

There is no cost to take part. Just honest feedback.

Who should apply

If you live in Derbyshire, drink tea, and have an opinion, you are exactly who we want. You do not need to be a tea expert. You just need a mug and a view.

Derbyshire Tea has always been shaped by the people who drink it. Blend 2 is the next step in keeping it that way.

100 tea testers. Three blends. One winner.
Sign up and help choose the next Derbyshire Tea.

Derbyshire Tea only uses plant-based compostable Tea Bags

Derbyshire Tea only uses plant-based compostable Tea Bags

Derbyshire Tea only uses plant-based compostable Tea Bags.
It is a 100% biodegradable heat-sealable paper which is made using wood pulps and vegetable starch.
It is 100% biodegradable as it is made from biodegradable raw materials.
It is compostable to EN13432 standard (the EU standard for industrially compostable materials), it will disintegrate in home compost and the residual bioplastic will biodegrade in time.
The polymer used in this Biodegradable Tea Bag Paper is certified GM-free by Eurofins.
The tests we have done show that this tea bag paper retains its strength well whilst in the cup, and will not affect the flavour of our delicious teas.
The paper is fully Halal and Kosher.
Although some environmental bodies define plastic as oil based, we are very wary of using the term ‘Plastic-free’ on our tea bags, as technically, the PLA used in this Bio Tea Bag Paper are still ‘bioplastics’, although derived from corn rather than from oil.
