Whittard's is a very nice, quite original shop but not all that cheap!

The main things the shop sells are tea, coffee, hot chocolate and chocolate. But they aren't just any old products. They have so many varieties of tea and coffee for example I bought a 'Dreamtime' tea a year ago - its apricot, honey and vanilla - and I still have it! And you can buy tea leaves and lots of varieties of coffee beans. They also sell things like crockery and coffee/espresso machines.

This shop is nice for a treat but I don't really rate some of their hot chocolate. Got a huge set last christmas and the luxury hot chocolate wasn't actually that nice, I personally prefer Galaxy!!

If you're into your tea, coffee or hot drinks in general then this is the place to go.

HOWEVER I did hear something about them going into administration, so I think some stores are closing down, but some may have been bought out. I know the one in Birmingham Bullring is closed but the one on Cheltenham promenade is still open! Such a shame but you might be able to get a bargain!
