Happy Devon Day from Proper Devon Teas 🌿☕

We may source our finest tea ingredients from across the world — from mountain gardens, spice trails, orchards, and flower fields — but every blend finds its true home here in Devon.

Blended by hand in this beautiful county, each tea carries a little of Devon’s spirit within it: the wildness of Dartmoor, the salt air of the coast, the warmth of village kitchens, and the quiet magic of our deep green valleys.

Even our names are inspired by the places we love most — the hidden coves, ancient moors, fishing villages, rolling hills, and timeless landscapes that make Devon unlike anywhere else on earth.

Because being proudly Devonian is at the heart of everything we do. 💚

Happy Devon Day to all who love this remarkable county as much as we do.

Teign Tea: Floral Green Tea, Sweet Devon Estuary Seaweed & Meadow Flowers. Bright Sencha green tea with floral cornflowers, chamomile & rose. Sweet Devon dulse adds a light estuary breeze. Fresh & quietly evokes the river.

It was such a joy to see so many people tasting and enjoying a selection of my teas – ten in total – including my award-winning Dartmoor Caravan Tea, along with a couple of new favourites: Devon Orchard and Garden Partea.
