Whittards

Whittard of Chelsea is a Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate vendor who has a long and interesting history dating back to 1886 when Walter Whittard started up the company. Their heritage can be found in detail on their website, along with their mission, information about their Tea and Coffee Guru 'Giles Hilton' who is the company's product director and purchases all of their tea and coffee products, and an outline of their responsibilities, including their Fair to Farmers policy.

Whittard is a chain of stores which sell a range of products from all sorts of different varieties of teas, coffees & hot chocolates to complimenting gifts such as mugs & various other accessories.

I start to shake, my eyes start to roll back in my head, and my head spins on my shoulders like that girl from the exorcist . Well, maybe I am exaggerating , but I do have a bit of a tea addiction - I even have penpals with whom I swap teabags . It should therefore probably come as no surprise then that I'm a frequent visitor to my local branch of Whittards, located on Bridlesmith Gate, near to the Broadmarsh shopping centre . Lets have a look in the window first shall we - here we see a colourful display of instant fruit ...  Read the complete review

When I go to London, I usually visit Whittards in Victorian station. Often, I do not intend to buy anything but take pleasure of looking around the shop and try free samples at the side. Whittards has been an old brand and is one of leading namees to represent English drinks. Many people buy things from Whittards not only for its products but also because they trust this brand and appreciate the history behind it. I usually buy chocolate drinks from Whittards and there are many interesting flavour to choose from, such as caramel chocolate and my favourite white chocolate. I am also fan of their instant tea; on the shelf you can find a good selection of tea ...  Read the complete review
