I love drinking tea and this site has always offered me the brands that I truly like. They have all kind of tea flavors: vanilla, rooibos, black, and so much more. Plus: there's available a British food section too!

Customer Service was absolutely the worst. The company charged me 23.69 for 2 day delivery when I qualified for free shipping. They would not change the mistake which I tried to promptly correct afterward after I received my confirmation email and then they delivered my order 6 days after the fact! Spent over 30 minutes waiting for a response from a real person every time I called.

Ordered crisps on 5/19. The crisps have an expired date; the best by date was 2/6/18. Contacted English Tea Store 3 times regarding this and requested info on how to return for refund. No response. Tried submitting a return request form on their website and received the following error message: "The order number you entered is not valid. Please check the number and try again." Contacted seller regarding the error message; again no reply. It appears they were aware of the expiration date of the crisps but chose to ship them anyway and then deleted the order info from their website to avoid a refund. Definitely will not shop this website again!

Twinings tea is best!
September 21, 2017

I used to buy this tea at my local grocery, but have had trouble finding it lately. So glad that the English Tea Company ships, and does it very quickly! And I bought a sample pack to get the free shipping- I think it'll make great stocking stuffers as each type of tea is in its own package!

Never disappointed
September 19, 2017

We are regular customers and have our "regular" tea that is always purchased; however, really like that we can get samples of tea that we've never tried.

So glad I found this website. It's become my regular source of teas and accessories; I recently ordered over a dozen small teapots as birthday favors for a tea party we're hosting.

Wow that was fast
July 28, 2017

Very fast delivery and sturdily packaged (bubble wrapped inside box inside air packing inside box), it survived my bungling of the item (a teapot) while unpacking it (don't try to do that). It was a gift (haven't given it yet) so I can't comment on quality, etc., but seems a very sturdy teapot to me (I did take it out to check for breakage during shipping and my drop).

Order has NOT yet been received (may late next week according to UPS/SurePost). Promo email received promised a 10% ("DEAL10") discount, yet when the order was placed this supposed discount code was denied as "invalid". So far the company has failed to respond to inquiries about the denial of the discount. So,... so far nothing to really "review" yet.,,,

Love the clotted cream. Arrived very quickly and was affordable. I use it every morning. They took extra care to wrap it and ensure a safe delivery.
