Refund policy

Returns and refunds

At Nauteas, we take great care in crafting and packaging our teas to ensure the highest quality. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we’re here to help.

Due to hygiene and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns of tea products that have been opened or where the seal has been broken, unless they are faulty.

This is in line with UK regulations regarding perishable and consumable goods.
