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!
Unable to obtain locally for months, excellent delivery to our remote area.
Product availability.
The entire order process was very easy. I will definitely order again.

Search for custard.
When I lived in Kent, my mum made custard pie.
Very quick purchase. Wholly satisfied. Wonderful website.
Peach tea was awesome, I loved the raspberry and the custard cookies
It was the only place that had the spearmint and peppermint tea I needed, and the quality of the tea was so good, I decided to buy the other product I wanted
Shipping was quick and merchandise was as described. Will order again soon.I
I had been given some of their as a gift and liked it, so ordered from them when I needed more
Everything was as ordered and arrived on time and in good condition.
Very easy to order. Liked description of product. A number of choices.
Liked display
Simple request was met with a trite response. I was offended.
Long time customer
I was looking for a smaller size. Just right for 1.
Good product, packed and shipped fast! Good people to do business with!
Easy to use. Delightful and refreshing! A boost to start each day.
Early in the morning, following the directions is easy since nothing special is required.
Good, since I am not great at this and I think you walked me through without too much trouble on my part.
The personal are always eager to help and they are very polite.
I choose this store because their prices are reasonable and had exactly what i was looking for.
The best place to find British favorites for the husband, his "favourites".
I love the teapot! It is just perfect for what I need.
It popped up when I googled ’teapots”
Maybe our order was unusually large it took a little longer to assemble, delaying it a bit?
We know from experience the QUALITY of the teas are well above the domestic brands.
It's been over 10 years with English Tea Store for us, we've tried quite a few varieties, some of the specialty things, but... keep going back to the Breakfast Teas, English & Irish, both outstanding Teas.
We like fresh brewed tea, by the coffee pot (yes, it works great, never bitter), and especially #1 the fine ground version really perks great in a Bunn coffee maker - wish there was something similar that steeped just a little longer...
Love the tea descriptions and types that are in each blend. The tea master is truly gifted!
See above - the marmalade was fine but the smarties packages were broken.
It's where i can get legit marmalade

Quality service, as usual. It arrived in good time and was well packed and in perfect shape.
I chose it years ago because I only drink Yorkshire tea and I can't buy it anywhere in my area.
Easy to order from and excellent shipping based on previous order deliveries.
Quick ship and attention to detail, packaged well and a good price.
It was the only place that I could find what I was looking for a great price.
Fast shipping and everything arrived I. Great condition. Thanks!
