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!
Worth every penny, looks amazing, very bright and patriotic.

Am really interested in trying Scottish breakfast tea.
Am shopping on line because of Covid-19. The English Tea Store offered bulk tea that I could make strong enough for my morning pot of tea and at a reasonable price.
I go back and forth between English and Irish Breakfast tea, and now Scottish, too.

I didn't have to contact the company, so my experience went that smoothly.
