Upgrading the cup to teapigs: Why tea matters

12 May 2026

In foodservice, tea is often overlooked – yet it’s one of the most ordered drinks. Discover how upgrading to whole leaf tea can enhance flavour, satisfaction and your overall beverage offer.

Tea may be a simple menu staple, but the quality of the cup speaks volumes. At teapigs, better tea starts with better ingredients. We use whole leaves, whole herbs and whole spices – never dust – in plant based pyramid tea bags for the best infusion and full flavour.

This commitment has earned over 180 Great Taste Awards, making teapigs a trusted choice for operators looking to elevate their drinks offer without adding complexity. From workplaces and leisure venues to pubs and restaurants, teapigs delivers a consistent, premium cup customers notice.

Quality also comes with responsibility. Our ethical scheme has raised over £850k for tea growing communities. Whether upgrading from standard tea or strengthening a premium range, teapigs turns an everyday drink into a reason to return.
