Welcome to our website. For those of you familiar with our 'real' shop at 47 Steep Hill in Lincoln you will know what we are about! To those who have just found us on the web we hope the site will give you a flavour of our family run business and the passion with which it is driven. We will also continue to offer our usual telephone mail order service for those who prefer to talk to us. However, we hope that this new service will give those of you who work the same hours as we do, or indeed who are in a different time zone to ours, the opportunity to order out of hours.

Our products are carefully chosen by ourselves from the thousands of samples sent to us each year by growers or their agents. We offer over four hundred types throughout the season, varying from the classic to the world's finest, truly rare lots. We also want to let you know that we roast all of our coffee in the shop and make our own Earl Grey and flavoured teas here too. So whilst we feel it is incorrect to say English tea or coffee (and many people do ask us for it!), we can proudly say they are Made in England.

Our opening hours at Number 47 Steep Hill are Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sundays from 11am to 4pm. We are only closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

Thanks,

Ben, James, Jenny, Mark, John and Sophie.
The Imperial Tea Family.

Happy Drinking!
