When Walter Whittard launched his first London shop in 1886, his philosophy was simple: buy the best. It's a philosophy that's stayed close to Whittard's heart since then, driving their belief in quality, heritage and innovation. Today their world-class range of tea, coffee and cocoa satisfies every curiosity and taste – from classic English Breakfast tea to creative hot chocolate flavours and unique tea and coffee blends. Add to that a selection of extraordinary gifts, and you’ve got quite the collection.

With 50 stores in the UK, a thriving e-commerce business and a presence in over 40 countries, they’ve come a long way since that first shop on Fleet Street. Whittard’s hunger for new opportunities has led them as far afield as Russia, South Africa and even Chile.
