After many years of Clipper Earl Grey…

After many years of Clipper Earl Grey as my main drink, I've finally given up buying it. It used to be (until the last few years) a refreshing, tasty, lemony (bergamot) cup of tea and now there's circular discs coming off the tea bags EVERY TIME you make a Cup of tea!!! I stupidly thought after they'd changed them - and taking double packs back for refunds coz they tasted awful all of a sudden, that they'd be back to normal again and the little discs of plastic? We're just a glitch. But I really don't want to taste this "changed" rubbish again! Such a shame, but it shows no signs of going back to normal. Yeuck! There's other beautiful brands out there so it's for the best! I've informed my daughter not to bring me home any more or their "everyday tea". Such a shame they ruined what used to be lovely!

What happened?!

Been buying clipper organic tea for years. Recently something’s changed and the tea is now weak and tasteless. I bought a few more boxes just to make sure it wasn’t a bad batch but nope, the tea is now horrible. Won’t buy again. Avoid.

What has happened to clipper tea!

Same as other reviewer. Have been drinking clipper tea for years and now all of a sudden it tastes like dishwater. I was getting the blame for making rubbish tea but something has definitely changed for the worse!

I bought clipper tea a month ago…

I bought clipper tea a month ago looking forward to the usual deep warm taste. To my surprise the tea bags are now white, instead of the normal brown unrefined colour.. The best part now, I pourer hot water on, and it went clear?not the normal deep tones. So I waited the a couple of minutes still dishwater. I am so upset and disappointed definitely not their normal high quality....

Fabulous tea and super service!

I've been drinking Clipper Tea for a while now and I'm quite fond of this brand as they seem to have the most taste compared to competitors (Twinings etc) I decided to purchase directly from them as I couldn't reliably find the flavours I wanted and my local stores sadly don't stock Clipper Teas. The delivery has always been fast and I've not had any issues, would highly recommend them! :)

No, they DON’T contain plastic.

I like Clipper tea. And I’ve never had a teabag break. And they DON’T contain plastic, polypropylene or whatever. As per their website, they contain ‘a ‘non-GM bio-material made from plant cellulose known as PLA’. So yah-boo to the nay-sayers.

avoid this poor company

always used clipper but not any more! nothing ethical or fair about this brand anymore..bought 1100 fairtrade bags online as we couldnt buy locally and drink alot of tea..they keep bursting and dont taste as rounded and apparently now contain plastic in there bags!!!.contacted customer dis- services who gave me some bull**** corporate answer and offered money off future purchases..why would i spend more money on a product that isnt fit for purpose...no refund as there distributers are used as there kop-out.always thought consumers had a comeback under sales of goods act..but alas cant be bothered chasing these clowns anymore..dont make the mistake we did..looking at other reviews im not alone with there service

Les meilleures infusions

Les meilleures infusions ! Je ne bois plus que des infusions de la marque Clipper depuis que j'y ai goûté ! J'ai trouvé mes favoris et ne les quitte plus ! Les infusions Detox, Mes Belles Gambettes, Divine Digestion, me suivent tous les jours ! De plus, la marque est selon moi très sympathique et grandissante, je vous souhaite beaucoup de réussite ! ❤️

Salty & Almost Tasteless

I bought Clipper Decaf "Organic Fairtrade"Tea (80 bags) recently. The brew is very disappointing - almost tasteless with just a salty presence. Clipper trades on its organic and natural credentials, but this tea is more costly than others and is inferior.

The best tasting and healthiest decaf tea

Clipper make the best organic decaf tea. Not only is it one of the tastiest decaf varieties but is is also one of the only teas on high street made with the natural CO2 decaffeination process. Most of the other big tea brands use carcinogenic chemicals to separate out the caffeine. I think they are even scrapping using plastic in the tea bags. Good work Clipper.

plastic tea bags

I bought Clipper products thinking they were healthier. Turns out their tea bags contain polypropylene - plastic. You add your hot water to make the tea and, bingo, out leaches the chemicals into your beverage. With the oceans full of plastics, and the fish we eat polluted with microscopic pieces of plastic that we then eat, and with the toothpaste full of plastic microbeads, even having a cup of tea will ensure you get your daily dose of petrochemicals. Clipper, a corporation ruining the world with the rest of them.

Fast delivery and good quality tea and coffee

I always buy clipper. The taste and quality of the tea and coffee is brilliant. I particularly enjoy the green tea as it is much less harsh in taste than other green teas. It is wonderful to find a company that sell so many fair trade products, doesn't bleach the tea bags and has a large variety in choice. The delivery is always quick. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending to a friend.

Not so ETHICAL company anymore... dishonest marketing

CLIPPER is not a a small family business anymore - as it MISS-LEADS you to believe on their website !!!. They flogged off their CLIPPER brand to a multinational in 2012, for around £50 mln. Another multinational con... So if you are driven by ethical principles, think before you buy CLIPPER!
