A little about us

About Leaf & Kettle

Leaf & Kettle is a small, independent UK business run by a husband-and-wife team with a simple idea: good tea deserves good teaware.

We're tea drinkers ourselves, and Leaf & Kettle grew from wanting to bring together the things that make a proper cup of tea feel that little bit better. Great teas, beautiful mugs and teapots, useful accessories and gifts we'd genuinely be happy to have in our own home.

We're not a huge company with warehouses full of thousands of products. We're building Leaf & Kettle carefully, choosing products we think are interesting, useful, giftable or simply rather lovely.

Tea without the fuss

Tea can get surprisingly complicated.

We'd rather keep things simple.

Whether you're particular about your loose leaf and know your Assam from your Darjeeling, or your entire brewing technique is tea bag, kettle, mug, you're welcome here.

We'll be bringing together tea, teaware and gifts for people who enjoy a good brew, without pretending you need a qualification to make one.

A small business, properly looked after

Because we're a small husband-and-wife business, we'd like Leaf & Kettle to retain some of that personal touch as it grows.

If you contact us, you're talking to the people behind the shop. If something goes wrong with an order, we'll deal with it. And if we find something we think deserves a place in the shop, we'll add it.

No enormous corporate mission statement.

Just good tea, nice things to drink it from, and hopefully something worth putting the kettle on for.
