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!
Carefully packaged, shipped quickly, good experience. Tea is lovely.

Easy to order, timely delivery. Communication was very good.
Quality & taste. English Tea Store has loose leaf (decaf) chai tea, which is hard to find. The flavor blend - superb - ensured my subsequent orders.

The shopping experience is always good. It would be nice to be able to make a repeat order easier, though. Instead of searching for the item all over again, it would be nice to have a 'repeat last order' button.

I love chai, but am caffeine-sensitive. This decaf chai is delicious, with all the subtle flavors I'd come to expect from high-end coffee shops. The only spice I add while steeping is a hefty dose of black pepper, because I like the tongue-tingling extra heat :) I steep this chai to be a concentrate, which I combine 50/50 with mylk, and honey for sweetness. A delight!
