This store us my new bff for UK goodies. The cookies came in tact. The chocolate although I haven't opened and tried it, was NOT melted. They placed a freezer pack which melted but it did its job! I have to admit I was expecting melted shortbread chocolate cookies. However, that was not the case! Ordering was easy. Waiting for delivery and/or ship time was just a few days.
This was my first time ordering from English Tea Store's site and I am totally satisfied! All the goodies were delivered fast and packaged well. Nothing damaged, crushed or crumbled! Cannot wait to place additional orders! I paid extra for the cooling bag and things were packed perfectly in it. Thanks so much!
People brought me my package. They were wonderful.
Easy to use, and very straightforward, with a terrific selection
Selection in stock
The website was easy to use. My order arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged.
Selection of teas.
I enjoy the sampler groups the most since I can try different teas and get a feel for what I want and what I actually enjoy drinking.
Quick, easy, site is easy to navigate. Product is as expected, perfect.
Brilliant - ordering quick and delivery real quick. English Tea Store is the REAL place for tea drinkers.
The name sounded intriguing and soon I was putting the kettle on.
Prompt shipping, everything was as I saw it on the website. Yummy teas too!
I want to drink tea like the Brits!
Excellent
Very nice to deal with
Will look up and find what you are looking for
I had used them before
The English Tea Company I found by accident while searching for teas on line. I also wanted to speak to a person as well. That is actually how I buy my tea; speaking to a person. They answer any questions, take my order and send it promptly.
They answer all my questions and have all the teas I like.
Easy ordering, fast delivery and well packed. I haven't tried the two marmalades but they look amazing with interesting flavors.
Best price on mini Bonne Maman
It arrived on time and was exactly what I ordered. Good flavor and aroma.
Everything came properly boxed and on time. SUPER JOB!
I would order from English Tea in the future

Ordered before
It was just fine.and I am enjoying the tea which is no longer in shelves in my area.
The quality of the Barry's decaf tea has declined considerably. It is now tasteless and sadly just like the decaf blends from Twinnings and Lipton.
Because they had Barry’s tea.
Thanks for the great tea. It's good to deal with someone who deals only in tea.
Previous good experience
I easily got the specific tea that I wanted. The delivery was fast even for the holiday season.
Unlike other stores that I ordered from, I always get the tea.
It was great. I love English Tea Store
Was going to order some tea and demi spoons, but suddenly, the tea was out-of-stock. It wasn't long before it was in-stock again, so I wasted no time in ordering. I'd ordered April 12,2015. Suddenly, it was out-of-stock again, right after I'd ordered. Then it was back-in-stock. When nothing arrived, and the pending was removed from my bank account, I checked to find my order was listed as processing. Then in July, the price for the tea was charged to my account, but sure enough, I received the spoons, which were much less in price. Emailing them, only got me an auto-mated answer. Finally, I emailed them again, when I couldn't get anyone on the phone. Another auto-mated answer. Then I discovered the charges removed from my account. I had received the very nice little spoons, though. Soon after, I received an email to say the tea was no longer available and I'd received a refund. So that meant, I didn't pay anything for the spoons. My order is still listed as pending and the tea is still listed as in-stock. So even though I was told my order was cancelled, I think in a few months, maybe the tea will turn up and I'll be charged. And, the one answer to my emails, was answered in one email account, saying I was being answered to my other email account. I'd already read it. I was also not happy that the spoons were sent in a small box, when they could have sent them in a bubble envelope, which would have meant I wouldn't have had the hassle I had once again, with my post office, to bring me my package. That's another story. Whatever, my first order with The English Tea Store, and my last with them. This is just no way to do good business. When I saw before ordering, that they were part of a group of unrelated stores, it left me concerned. Oh, yes! And that refund I received was dated in late June, before I'd emailed them.
Website is easy to order from. Items arrived on time. Loved the items we ordered. Thanks!
They had some of the items we enjoyed while in England.
