If your country of residence isn’t listed above and you would like to order our teas, we advise the following steps:
1. Check if we have a local Ahmad Tea website in your country of residence. Our full list of Ahmad Tea international websites can be found here
2. If we don’t have a website in your location, please email us at info@ahmadtea.com and we will recommend the best local contact for you. They will be able to advise where you can buy our teas and have the most up-to-date information.
Over the past few years, the number of our international websites has grown and grown. And with this expansion, we have been able to introduce local online shopping options for more and more of our international customers. These local sites offer quicker delivery times, less expensive delivery costs and a local team ready to help with any issues in your time zone and speaking your language. We continue to launch more and more of these as we believe they offer a better shopping experience for many of our international customers.
As a result, we have streamlined the international delivery options offered by Ahmadtea.com/uk. We continue to ship to destinations in Europe and the Gulf countries, and are always here and happy to help with any queries you might have about international deliveries. Please do reach out to us and we will do our best to help.

That must be very frustrating; let’s resolve this right away. Here are some potential solutions: 1) Verify that you are typing in the email and password registered to the account. 2) Avoid copying and pasting your email and password into the prompt boxes. Sometimes this adds an extra unseen “space” which causes the system to reject the password. If you cannot remember your password, please select “FORGOT PASSWORD” on the log in page. An email will be sent to your registered account inviting you to reset your password. If you still cannot log into your account, please contact us at info@ahmadtea.com and we’ll investigate.
